Non visible blood in urine

My ct scan showed them but not the ultrasound

I've had this randomly ever since 2013 when I had to give a urine sample. Not all the time but it was there. Did all test and scans and it was nothing. Urologist told me 20% of people have it for absolutely no reason at all.

Thanks for the replies. I spoke to the urologist, she said I will have to give a few urine samples, they will be researched in the lab, and if those are all clear no research will be done. The first sample has been clear, so that's a bit of relief, and I have to give a second sample in february, for which I'm still terrified. Urologist said the chance of bladder c at my age is very, very low, but of course I'm expecting the worse. She also said the dipstick tests are not very reliable.

What haunts me is the two episodes of gross haematuria in the past. These were probably due to kidney stones, but the chance of it being C after episodes of gross haematuria has always been in the back of my mind. I feel like the world is standing still, I'm still incredibly stressed. I hope I can give good news in a few weeks

And once again the waiting is horrible...I try to focus on the positives
-doc said because of my age the chance is low it's something bad
-history of kidney stones
-2 clear urine samples
-CT scan 2 years ago showed nothing

I'm disappointed in not being able to comfort myself. Days are going very slowly, will keep you updated

Have to give urine and blood this week..

[Arie12]

Well, if my urine is clear there won't be any tests done. If there is blood I'll get a cystoscopy again. I hope and think it will be clear since my urine was clear twice last week, but I don't know if I can cope if I need another cystoscopy. Not afraid of the test but of the outcome

It doesn't sound serious to me but get the tests if you really need to.

Just for the update. I had three separate urinetests, all three were negative to my surprise. Thanks everyone for replying. I celebrated for a day, now of course I'm worried about another form of cancer. To summarise for those worried about blood in their urine:
-it's really common
-doctor tests can give false positives, dip stick tests are more sensitive
-it's really common
