I have chronic blood in the urine and have had it for some time, I was
alway treated with an antibiotic in case it was a UTI, eventhough no
bacteria was ever found. Since then I was diagnosed with endo, I always
have blood in my urine. I was sent to a Urologist in July to look for a
cause, he looked for kidnney stones, and endo in the bladder. Neither
was found. He said it could be pelvic endo causing it or endo on the
ureters. I saw a doctor yesterday who said with the chronic blood in
the urine she is 99% sure the endo is on the ureters because that is a
very common sight. She also noticed scar tissue on my bladder through
ultrasound, she said that could also causing the blood in urine, she
can't see the endo on the bladder through ultrasound but could see scar
tissue. So it is a good possibly that you have endo causing they blood
in the urine.
