White Blood Cells and traces of bood in urine!

[Starley]

Hi there, I'm looking for some help!

For the past 5 years I've shown symptoms for Endo, now I'm awaiting a laparoscopy, however for the past 10 months I've regularly done urine samples but they keep coming back with high counts of white blood cells and traces of blood, the doctor gave me antibiotics for a urine infection and it definitely wasn't a urine infection and it keeps happening, can Endo cause these results?

Thank you

I don’t think I’ve had issues with white blood cells, apart from odd infection. I do have blood show up fairly regularly in urine tests, with no infection. As no one has come up with anything else, I’m putting it down to endo. I have realised that when I’m active blood shows up more.

Yes I know what you mean, sometimes I show traces of blood other times I don't. It's so strange and such a difficult condition because it comes with so many different symptoms. I've had severe problems with it for a year now and had symptoms for about 5-6 years, I never knew how challenging this condition could get. Thank you for getting back to me, I hope you're well.

It’s hard to believe what variety of things this can cause. It’s when you ask for antibiotics for something else and doctor says, well you’ve had quite a lot last year, who’s to blame for that one!😂

This used to happen to me all of the time. Not always did I need anti biotics because the doctor would call it a mild uti. For years I thought I had recurring water infections and sadly just dealt with it and probably took far too many anti biotics, but it turned out to be endometriosis.

Thanks so much for commenting back! I've been so worried about it and it's everytime I do a sample, I'm glad I'm not the only one who has experienced this. I hope you are well.
