Yes, I will go be tested. In my question I didn't say there was blood in my urine. I described it as "dark". You concluded that meant there was blood in it. Is that the only reason it could be dark?
Thank you.

Dark urine could either be dark red or dark brown, of which both are indicative of bleeding.
