Urine sample positive - need reassurance!

[sebinkent]

I gave in a urine sample to the doctor this morning (first time I have ever done this) and I have just been told by the receptionist that they have sent it to a lab for further testing because something wasn't right with it.
What could this mean?

I am 34, male and have no symptoms of a urine infection - no burning or pain and the colour of my urine is fine. Any ideas? I really don't want to be worrying about this..

Thanks.

Usually it is because it has blood or protein in it - I have had this lots of times and then it comes back all clear from the lab

my husbands was tested at work for a medical and tested positive for blood they sent one to the lab and that was negative
