2 Years Clear Low Grade T0 - blood in urine after strenuous exercise

Howdy,

I found myself straining excessively to complete my last set of military press reps on a machine at Planet Fitness yesterday. When I got home I had to urinate and discovered a small amount of blood in my urine. Has anyone else had this experience?

    1. Thanks for reaching out to me. I spoke to my doctor about the event, and he explained that it was nothing to be concerned about. More than likely I popped a blood vessel in my prostate, which is what caused the small amount of blood I experienced. Hopefully the post will help someone else.

      1. thanks for the follow up. I am sure you were relieved. We appreciate you sharing with our community as it definitely helps to hear personal experiences from our members. Jill, bladdercancer.net team

    2. Blood in my urine after a hard 30 mile bicycle training ride. This is how I found out I had bladder cancer. I had no symptoms with normal physical activities what so ever. I wouldn't ignore this.

      1. thanks for sharing with us. As you mentioned, you may not have any other symptoms and it is always good to get it checked out. Jill (Team Member)
