Noticed Traces Of Blood In Urine After Urinalysis. Taking NSAID For Back Pain. Suggestions?

Thank you for the query.
Yes, NSAID intake as well as intense exercises can be a reason of blood in the urine. This is well know phenomenon.
Making urine analysis during the menses can also give positive urine blood result. So you have 3 possible reasons (every of them as a single factor can cause blood in the urine) of blood in the urine.
Other possible reasons of blood in urine are urinary tract stones. With this conditions, frequent urinating, burning while urinating, lower abdominal pain should be also present.
Sometimes blood in the urine can be the first sign of urinary bladder cancer.
I suggest you to avoid physical activity and NSAIDs for a week and have urine analysis repeated. If the blood in the urine will be still present, please consult urologist.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
