Pissing blood!!!

[DanielBishop]

Just an hour or two ago, I went to the toilet and noticed that my urine was a really weird colour and seemed to be thicker too. It was darker than normal. I thought maybe I was dehydrated, so I drank water until I felt nauseous....

.... then again just now, I went again. Except I think what's giving my urine the strange colour and consistency is blood.

Why would this be happening? I'm dieting at the moment, but I'm not taking any gear or even supplements.... I eat some carbs in the morning, and the rest of the day is just chicken, egg whites, tuna or ham.

This never happened before when I was on similar diets. Anyone know what it could be?

Oh my god, I wish I knew!! Kind of scary. I am wishing you serious luck!!

Actually, until you can schedule a doctor's appointment, try either drinking cranbury juice or taking cranbury extract in pill form.

Just in case it's a urinary tract thing, but why is there blood?

Anyway, not sure if that's what it is. But that can't hurt.

 

[DanielBishop]

What does cranberry juice do?

I'm just gunna drink a lot of water....

I have no idea what this could be. There's no pain or anything.... nothing that gave me any sign that something was wrong. That's why it's such a shock.

a long time ago my brother got kicked in the kidney area and , as i recall, he did piss some blood once; it turned to be a minor kidney complication and it wasn't seriousl

one minor procedure later, everything was back to normal

moral of the story: blood in the urine doesn't always mean someting really serious (kidney failure, etc.)...it could be a minor deal

Cranbury juice is excellent for the kidneys and is always prescribed if there is any pain in the urinary tract. People on high-protein diets should take some every now and then (I swallow a pill; can't stand the juice).

Or if for some reason you weren't able to drink water for a while and feel dehydrated. It might help prevent some damage.

Don't know why!

bro, DOCTOR immediately. two things come to mind. internal bleeding- not good, or kidney problems. make sure you get to the doc this week and tell him the truth. hopefully he can help out better than we can. good luck bro

 

[DanielBishop]

Tell him the truth about what? I've just told you all everything....

I've never done steroids, so it's not that. I'm not taking supplements of any kind (not even protein at the moment) so it's not that.

My diet is, as I described above.... oatmeal, egg whites, chicken, tuna, steak and ham, as well as some occasional vegetables like brussel sprouts or broccoli.

The only time I ever pissed blood before was when I boxed.... and the morning after a fight when I took some good kidney shots, it would be bloody. But that was COMPLETELY red.... and my coach said it was normal. Nothing ever came of it. This is different.... this (if indeed it IS blood) is only a little bit.... and I haven't taken a blow to the kidney.

I've been weight training like I have for the last 4 years, and doing some running and walking for cardio. Nothing else.

I don't get it. I'll see what happens in the morning and what it looks like.

Thanks for your concern, everyone.

Dude, get to the doctor immediately. Blood in the urine means less blood in your cardiovascular system, it's just like bleeding anywhere else, if you wait too long you will be in trouble.

With all that protein you are eating I would make sure you tell the doc that, they can run the appropriate tests.

Oh, and make sure you post afterward so we all know you are OK.

Good luck bro.

Okay, well it's been like.... 14 hours since I posted last. I went to the toilet once, and while it was still kinda dark, it wasn't the same as last night.... I don't think there was any blood this time. I'm still drinking lots of water just in case, and I'm starting to think that maybe the dark colour and thicker consistency was just due to me being dehydrated....

.... but I'll keep monitoring it.

As for protein, I actually don't eat that much. I'm well below the "recommended" requirement of 1.5g/lb of bodyweight.... I just don't have enough food or money to maintain that level or protein, so I don't think it's that.....

.... probably just dehydrated.

But thanks to everyone for replying.
