I have no color but microscopic blood was found. I am 62 past menses and not sexually active. Recent colonoscopy was clear. I have multiple auto immune diseases and take immunosuppressants. I take opiods to manage pain and am constipated so I take a stool softener daily and relax once a week with high fiber diet including daily Miramax. My rheumy told me I have alot going on with just my AI issues. He suggested I think about seeking further investigation with a urologist. Given I am on immunosuppressant medications, I have decided to check it out further. I am wondering if anybody knows what the urologist might order in terms of tests to rule out bladder cancer as my rheumatologist mentioned that he is concerned I may have it due to the medications I take.

I have had microscopic hematuria since I went thru menopause. It is classified as "idiopathic - no known cause." I have had the following tests: cystoscopy; MRI with contrast; CT scan with contrast; renal ultrasound; urine cytology, you name it. It has been attributed to very low estrogen. I have always been on the thin side and have refused any kind of hormone therapy. All of my diagnostic tests have come back normal. Microscopic hematuria (idiopathic) is very common in post menopausal women. I hope this helps.
