When the blood in the urine is at the beginning of urination, it most likely comes from the urethra, (the tube from the bladder to the outside). Blood throughout urination is most likely from the bladder or kidneys or ureters (the tubes connecting the kidneys and the bladder).
Diagnostic tests that may be performed include Urinalysis, Urine culture, X-rays of the kidneys, Cystoscopy, IVP, Abdominal ultrasound and CT scan of the abdomen.
Is it the act of a catheter inserted into the urethra is what opens up the urethra or the amount of fluid that is instilled in the bladder that dilates it. the reason i am asking this because last year when i had cytoscopy done i remember my bladder being really full about 300ml and since i went to a new urologist this week he filled my bladder with 100ml and my bladder didn't feel as full. i would say 48hrs. after cyto.
Yes, i'm infected with the virus on my penis and perhaps inside the urethra, but i just wondered if it could travel from the urethra all the way to my bladder. I don't think my bladder exactly is already infected with herpes even if my penis and urethra were? So it's kind of a question of auto-inoculation to the bladder and other lower parts of my urinary tract.
There are conditions such as you describe that do not present with positive urine cultures etc. I have Interstitial Cystits/Painful Bladder. The painful Urethra is one of the symptoms as well as the pain some doctors assume is Enodmetriosis. Here is a site which maybe helpful :

5 days later he had prostrate problems and ended up leaving the hospital with a catheter. He ended up with an infection and after taking proscar and flowmax for 5 months (and using the single use catheter) he went in for an opening of the urethra. He since has had recurrent bladder infections, terrible gas and bloating. He is still on nitrofurantion (2 pills a day for 5 days) one pill a day for 30. He has no relief. He is up every night with terrible pains.
Are you having any other symptoms, like burning during urination? I'm wondering if you may have a bladder infection. It sounds like you need to see your Dr to find out what's going on.
Hi, wonder if anyone can give me some advice. I have had a bladder/kidney infection for about 4 weeks now. I am on third lot of antibiotics. First was suprax, which gave some relief for a few days, then levoxacin, now on ciproxin. I had a cytoscopy that revealed the bladder infection. I have very bad pain in sides, back, and abdomen and am on pain medication for this. I'm worried that this third course of will not work.

My doctor called today and said my urine is clear now. But I told her I still have pain when urinating. I was on antibiotics for a long time so I'm thinking that maybe a yeast infection that could be irritating my bladder and urethra too. Thanks for the info, I will be see my doctor soon to confirm. It's irritated more now than when the infection was present.
Since the urethra experiences trauma from this, it will hurt to urinate as urine gets in contact with the scraped urethra. Also the urethra gets somewhat stretched during urination, so you will feel that while the urethra heals.
I rememeber pain in the lower right kidney area that radiated down and around. You could actually feel the material move as it was passed from the kidney to the bladder.
Factors that can cause this to happen include incomplete urinary emptying, hygiene of the urethra, prostate inflammation, urethra narrowing, bladder reflux disease (usually due to leaky valves between the bladder and ureter tubes that connect to the kidneys and diabetes etc.
Hence it is better to get a urine examination and urine culture done.
What it's called when a sticky clear watery substance is constantly in your urethra most all the time and you have pain in your pelvic and groin and lower back that radiates to your right buttock and right leg.Is this cis bladder cancer or is this bladder cancer or bladder infection . I wan't to know because i've had chronic microscopic hematuria for six years now and i've had this clear sticky watery substance in my urethra constantly most all the time about eight years now .

I have urine that feels sensitive after urinating and sometimes at random various times I feel tingling in the urethra up into the bladder. My urine smells kind of acidic. I have diffficulty with constipation from IBS and that makes the symptoms worse when it occurs. It doesnt burn but feels sensitive or different when urinating. I'm a 25 year old female.
Thanks so much for your quick response! I can't really pinpoint what might have triggered it in the past. The only thing I could say is that when I've have had symptoms like this, stress about what's causing it has prolonged it and made it worse. The urethra discomfort has only happened once in the past but bladder pressure, feeling like have to pee, has come and gone over the last couple years. It's felt most often when laying down.
Your cat may have a problem called Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) It happens when crystals are formed in the bladder which block the urethra. Male cats are affected more commonly than females, as they have a longer urethra. Basically, the crystals sit inside the urethra, and stop the cat from unrinating. The bladder fills up and distents, causing pain and distress.
In this the diagnosis can be made only by the proper collections of urine specimens from both the urethra and the bladder. These specimens will reveal the presence of white blood cells in the urethral washings, while the midstream (bladder) specimen will be free of cells.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.
