So, I hit the gym tonight and got a shock. After about 20 minutes of cardio I pissed blood. No blood before I started, and none I can see now (a few hours later). I even went ahead with my leg training for an hour, right after this happened.

I've asked Dr. Google, and it seems some runners get random blood showing up in their urine. Anyone out there have this issue before? Was it the strain of exercise, and was there anything that helped?

I've emailed my doctor and plan to visit if she she says she thinks I need too, or if the blood shows up again soon.

I am no doctor but can say with confidence that you either have internal bleeding in your UT or that someone secretly drugged you and injected blood up your pee hole into your bladder. Since the second option is more likely there is no need to seek proper medical intention, you should just put a zip tie tight around your johnny to prevent any further successful blood injections.

This happened to me several years ago when I was doing a lot of running. From what I recall it was the myoglobin breaking down in my muscle tissue and I was peeing it out. Which led to my first prostate exam at the ripe old age of 21. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

I'm far from squeamish when it comes to blood, guts and broken bones, but the day I see blood squirting out of my peehole might be the day I pass out.

I ran 2300 miles last year and had no blood pee to report. I've crapped red but that was because I ate beets (the only good thing about beets). Hope it's nothing serious.

It is an exciting moment. But passing out would leave you covered in bloody pee, and you'd probably pass out at the sight of that when you woke back up.

Watching it come out was like:
That looks kinda dark, I should drink more water.
That looks weirdly dark, I wonder what I ate.
Oh! That's blood, this is bad.

Of course, I decided to go ahead and lift heavy (for a cripple).

Uh, I'd say unequivocally, "get thee to a doctor!!" Maybe Toshi can jump in with some additional info, but I'd guess that anything more than "hey, my pee's got a bit of a red tinge to it" is probably bad...

My (hypocritical, TMI) bloody-pee story:

Was mountain biking at Killington ~a decade ago with the wife, and on an unfamiliar trail in the wet I ended up sliding out and straddling/slamming the taint into a tree. By myself, of course (wife was done for the day), and after 5min of lying/sitting there in pain I had to pee. Straight blood. And pain in the taint. Freaked out, rode to the bottom and tried to figure out what to do next. Pain was mostly gone (aside from general bruising) but was still peeing blood. Figured that it was damage to the urethra as opposed to Kidney damage, and so opted to NOT go to the ER hoping it'd heal on it's own. Drank a LOT of water that evening to keep it flushed out, and later that night I actually peed a section of coagulated, semi-solid blood. That felt weird.... But aside from some tenderness when I peed for the next day or so, that was about it.

Thinking back, I almost certainly should have gone to see a doctor, and probably would if it happened to me now. I'm guessing that the advice from the doc's would've been the same (drink a lot of water), but I'm at the point in my life where I'm at least somewhat more likely to concede the point and go get it looked at.


Oh, and obligatory for JK so he doesn't have to spend the time looking it up:

Doctor! There should be no blood coming from a man's genitalia! I think DirtyMike pisses blood regularly... I'm sure he'll post soon :wait:

Frank hematuria warrants a workup. It's not an issue for the ER but rather for your primary care physician + maybe a urologist. I'd recommend a 3-phase CT urogram.

doc gave me the "meh" and a shoulder shrug. i peed in a jar, and i got a poke and a prescription, and a mesh thing to pee in to "mine for stones" for the next week. he says it is likely a minor infection of no significant meaning. labs being done to verify.

Good luck with that!

I have no idea where I am
they once tried to talk me into a hook in the sack, but i'm crazy, not stupid.
I once had free tickets to the Jim Rose Circus and was hoping to see the Amazing LiftO do the trick where he picks up a cast iron using a hook through his junk. Unfortunately I couldn't get off work in time and got there too late. Only saw the last act where a dude balanced a running lawn mower on his head while an assistant threw cabbages at him. So didn't get to see anything too crazy.


Hope your man dangle and associated workings are ok.

doc asked me if i wanted to skip the poke yesterday. i said "you are the pro, you tell me." he asked me if i wanted the visiting med student to leave the room, and i said i didn't care, so the kid stayed to watch. doc then appologized for the "pressure" i was about to feel. i told him that after my time in the rehab hospital with daily pokes to make me two, i'm not terribly bothered by it anymore. i was just happy it didn't cause me reflex out a two on his floor.
