Been to the dr to get a urine pot,did some urine tests over the weekend,showed blood and leukocytes,tested again and nothing,one day it's fine,next it can show no blood but leukocytes then vice versa then nothing,does anyone know what can cause that?

[CLKD]

Nope.  Has the sample been sent to a Lab.?  Dip stick tests aren't very reliable unfortunately.  What does the GP suggest might be the cause?

U may need 2 use VA treatment.  If the vaginal walls are thin they may shred = blood in urine.

Is there ever any blood or an odd tinge visible to the naked eye?

I too was wondering VA, or even if not that bad, then dryness / micro abrasions?

[jaypo]

Got to hand a sample in tomorrow,they'll send it off if leukocytes are there.
No visible blood penguin,I do suffer VA but not hugely,it's uncomfortable at the start of intercourse,I don't take anything for it.
I just don't get how it can be clear on one test then positive on another,it's the same strips as Drs use,those Siemens ones,feel ok apart from anxiety now through the roof,are leukocytes just to detect infection?

If you 'suffer' from VA why not use treatment  which will lessen the frequency and signs of leukocytes ........ get some VA treatment up there ;-).  It's what it's designed for.

Caughed.  Haven't needed as much milkofmagnesia today 

[jaypo]

Would VA cause leukocytes?

[CLKD]

I don't know, something to ask your GP?

However, if U have problems during penetration, why not treat it?  We have used KY Jelly for over 40 years ......... plus VA kicking in which requires proper treatment.  Being wet inside lessens the chance of tearing of thinning skin.  Normal for aging.

Eaten half a chicken curry supper with Naan bread.  Stuffed now.

It can cause an infection Jay if your so dry down there, I'm sure it could. But don't quote me. It just makes sense to me. 

Been out today with OH to the shops.
Gentle walking. Just to one big shop, JL. Then back again.
He did good.
Feels good getting back some 'normal' time again.

Thanks Jill,I've been reading that you can have silent UTI so hopefully that's all it is,the dr sent it off to the labs today 

[CLKD]

Where did U read that jaypo?  Never heard of a 'silent UTI' 

A bit of laundry, some gardening, a walk; GP appt done; tweezers at my chin .......... evening meal eaten.

[jaypo]

Dunno lol read it just a minute ago,you can have a UTI but be asymptomatic 🤷‍♀️

[CLKD]

I've taken two much Milk of Magnesia = gut rolling

If you’re like most people, you probably think of burning or pain with urination being an unavoidable consequence of a UTI. In reality, many urinary tract infections do not cause painful urination, and some patients with UTIs are completely asymptomatic

That didn't post first time round

A slight tangent but I had silent thrush last year, would never have thought that possible either! Was swabbed ad a precaution for a slightly long period, it came back positive for thrush, I had no idea. So perhaps that's what you've got?

Yesterday we had a day out with Nature.
This morning I've sorted the dishwasher, laundry: DH has moved rotted compost around the plot ready to rake onto the beds.  Cuppa to hand.
