Unsure

Urinated blood on Tuesday. It was bright red drops of blood. No pain. No other symptoms except that for last year and a half ive had trouble emptying my bladder in one go.

Im a 42 year old female. Otherwise healthy.

i went to GP and he didn’t want to a dip check there and then and didn’t examine me. he asked for urine samples in the morning and blood tests are tuesday at the gp. he also mentioned im being referred to outpatients.

My question is, isn’t it overkill to refer me BEFORE blood and urine test results?
