Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!
Question: Ok, today I needed to go to the bathroom. I went to Urine and really had to go, but only a little came out. Blood came out with the urine so it looked kind of winish color. I don't have any back pains and nothing else hurts. Please tell me what is going on. I will be going to the doctor in about 2 weeks, but I would like to know before then. It has only happened 2 other times in my life. I am 13 years old.

A urinary tract infection, or UTI, is an infection that can happen anywhere along the urinary tract. The urinary tract includes the:
Bladder
Kidneys
Ureters -- the tubes that take urine from each kidney to the bladder
Urethra -- the tube that empties urine from the bladder to the outside
Causes Return to top
Cystitis, a common condition, is usually caused by bacteria entering the urethra and then the bladder. This leads to inflammation and infection in the lower urinary tract.
Certain people are more likely to get UTIs. Women tend to get them more often because their urethra is shorter and closer to the anus. Elderly people (especially those in nursing homes) and people with diabetes also get more UTIs.
Some children develop UTIs. In boys, they are most common before the first birthday. In young girls, UTIs are most common around age 3, overlapping with the toilet training period.
Cystitis in children can be promoted by abnormalities in the urinary tract. Therefore, children with cystitis, especially those under age 5, deserve special follow-up to prevent later kidney damage.
Symptoms
The symptoms of a UTI include:
Cloudy urine
Blood in the urine
Foul or strong urine odor
Frequent or urgent need to urinate
Need to urinate at night
Pain or burning with urination
Pressure in the lower pelvis
Young children with UTIs may only have a fever, or no symptoms at all.
Additional symptoms may include:
Mental changes or confusion (in the elderly, mental changes or confusion often are the only signs of a urinary tract infection; possible spread to the blood should be considered)
Flank (side) pain, vomiting, fever, and chills (may be a sign of kidney involvement)
Painful sexual intercourse
Penis pain
Exams and Tests Return to top
Tests generally include taking a urine sample.
Urinalysis commonly reveals nitrates, white blood cells, and red blood cells. See also: RBC - urine
A urine culture (clean catch) or catheterized urine specimen may be done to determine the type of bacteria in the urine and the appropriate antibiotic for treatment.
TESTING IN CHILDREN
Many children with cystitis need special imaging studies to determine why they got a urinary tract infection. Many of them have something abnormal about their anatomy that predispose them to infections. The long-term consequences of repeated urinary tract infections in children can be quite serious. However, these infections can usually be prevented.
Special studies usually include an ultrasound of the kidneys and an x-ray taken during urination (called a voiding cystourethrogram or VCUG).
Most experts recommend this evaluation for:
Girls over age 5 who have had two or more urinary tract infections
All boys with their first urinary tract infection
All children who have a fever along with their urinary tract infection
All children under age 5 with their first urinary tract infection
Treatment Return to top
A mild case of cystitis may go away on its own without treatment. Because of the risk of the infection spreading to the kidneys, however, antibiotics are usually recommended. It is important that you finish the entire course of prescribed antibiotics.
In children, cystitis should be treated promptly with antibiotics to protect their developing kidneys. In the elderly, prompt treatment is recommended due to the greater chances of deadly complications.
Commonly used antibiotics include:
If you ejaculate and if it gets held in, it can get forced back up into your prostate and cause your pee to have some blood in it. Have your doctor take a look.
I'm not a doctor- But it might be kidney stones or a bladder infection. Not 100% sure.
dude this isnt normal...im 14 and this has NEVER happend to me at all in my life
go to the emergency room
go to the emergency room now, u shouldn't wait so long or u will get a health defect, or u might lose ur thing
Uranary Tract Infection which is NOTHING huge to worry about, as long as you go to the doctors. Your doctor will take a test simply from yr urine and will tell you if that is what you have the same time your there. he'll give u antibiotics that are about 7 bucks and u take them like 3 times for 3 days or somethihng and it will be gone. if this happens again make sure u go to the doc's agaiin because a 'UTI' doesn't go away and will get worse and worse and will lead to a bladder and kidney infection. be careful!
it could also be a bladder infection too... but most likely not since your lower back doesn't hurt because that is where your kidney's are. good luck!
I would tell the Dr. you needed to get in right away. Sounds like possible UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) or stones. You don't want to let this go, if it's a UTI, it can go into your kidneys and cause MASS pain. Get this checked out right away!
Its a bladder infection.
go to ems could be very bad
It sounds like you have a urinary tract infection. Drink a lot of cranberry juice and try to pee it out.
you need to go and see your doctor
