I am currently waiting for CT results from my recent blood in the urine episode. I have an Urostomy, and the blood is showing up in my bag, all my urine exits from a stoma, through an appliance (wafer) and into a plastic pouch. My wife is a nurse ,and she was shocked recently at just how much blood was in the bag. And it was fresh blood, not old blood.
She talked me into seeing my uro real fast. I am on an antibiotic in hopes that its some kind of infection, but the NP that examined me kind of didn't think it was. They can't get a clean sample out of me because of the Urostomy setup. Any urine in the bag would by nature, be full of who knows what kind of funk. If they had to have one, they would have to remove the appliance, and insert a foley catheter deep into the stoma to try to get a clean sample.
I hope you get good news on your situation. It is creepy to see blood in the urine. However, even a small drop of blood can quickly discolor the urine and make it pinkish
Good luck to you, will be looking for a follow up from you
