Blood in urine


I have been lifting weights for a few months and recently noticed a few drops of blood in my urine. I have no pain. Is this something to worry about?
If you had no trauma to your abdomen, and developed some red discoloration of urine, I would not worry about it. Hematuria or blood in the urine can occur after intense exercise or even jogging. Just drink lots of water and take it easy for a few days. However, if the blood in the urine persists for more than 2 weeks, I would go and see a doctor to make sure there is no underlying cause. In some people, blood in the urine is often a sign of a bladder cancer. If you have pain with blood in the urine, it could be a kidney stone.
