GENERAL: Microscopic hematuria confusion

Good afternoon,

I was just at my doctors for a follow up visit involving having microscopic blood in my urine sample. I am a 49 year old woman in great health and I did have this blood show up in a previous urine sample 3 years ago. He did an ultrasound at this time and I did the return for many months with my urine sample to be tested and all was fine till a month ago when it showed up once again.

Now my question is this. He told me it is not uncommon to have a urine test show up with a wee bit of blood in it and not to worry about this at all. Yet when I read online I am informed "any" microscopic blood in urine sample needs to be investigated and not ignored.

So I am confused as to if my doctor is correct in I should not worry or if I should seek other medical advice on this matter. Is microscopic blood a common finding in doctors offices?
