75 years old. Non-smoker, telephone repairman, no family history of cancer... just my luck! BCG for two years and have been clean since. Every six months I get a new lease on life.
Every two months for the last year I have had large amounts of blood in my urine. The first urologist I saw did a CT scan with and without contrast. No kidney stones, didn’t show any bladder tumors but did show thickening in the bladder wall. He opted not to do a cystoscopy because I didn’t have blood in my urine that day. But then he decided to refer me to a gyno urologist. I see her next week. I hope she takes this seriously.
@@djarias28hi! Yes, I had a cystoscopy and the doctor found the source of the blood in my urine. When she inserted to device to do the cystoscopy it was extremely painful and I ended up having a kidney stone partially blocking the urethra. So it was causing the pain and bleeding. I hope you are well.
in 2008 I had my first bout had two tumors one the size of a half dollar the other the size of a quarter they were removed and I started BCG after two years had a cancer growing on the in side wall of the bladder, it total i had 45 courses of BCG I've ben clean for the last 12years!
Hello, I was diagnosed w/stage 1 bladder cancer in 2018. Underwent lazer surgery immediately. And now go for follow up check ups once a year.. Cancer free now. Best of Luck to You!
I've been checked every 3 to 4 months, when it was first discovered I had surgery to remove it. After that I checked out cancer free. 6 months later it was back and doc burned it out , I guess it was with a laser. Had more chemo, another 6 weeks worth. Three months ago I checked out cancer free again. I now get another check up March 1st.
Fantastic informative video. My doctor noticed microscopic amounts of blood in my urine during my PCV ( Bus licence) medical and referred me for a Cystoscopy. This showed up 2 small areas of concern and I went into hospital for a TURBT. After what seemed a really long wait I got the all clear, no cancer. Keep up the great work on these videos. Thanks.
Hi Daniella, Same here. Found invasive cancer in 2017 and have had 2 operations, 3 years apart. I go in every 6 mos for cystoscopy. I feel blessed to have lived this long. Just have to keep a eye out for blood in the urine. I wish you success in your journey and would ask that you continue to post as you progress. God bless.
I had/have bladder cancer. It didn't get through the muscle...yet...fingers crossed. I go for a scope every 3 months, going on 3 years now. Thank you for this helpful video. I love my Urologist...she is very smart...she was the only doctor that figure out I was having a reaction to the vessel chemo Tx. That part laid me up for 4 months...hell on wheels that was...better now. I ALMOST look forward to my regular penis probes. They get easier as time goes on...just a tid bit of info for any new comers.
I didn't know bladder cancer was so deadly, ....great information on this subject, .....congrats on a million views, ...I see others thought it was interesting and worth a look as well......you crammed in a lot in a short time.....those speed talking classes really payed off.....excellent execution. ....well done.
Thanks for sharing Dr. Malik! Very thoroughly done! I'm going on six years now and down to only one cystoscopy per year! Luckily caught it early, and life goes on! Another good friend's was serious and required an external bladder, but he too has done well. Ironically, since I quit smoking nearly five decades before this was discovered, I guess the damage of smoking simply never fades. Great video!
Great explanations. I was diagnosed with a small cancer, then stones grew on the bladder walls. After 2+ years of Dr visits every 3 mos I was finally cleared as my bladder looked clean. Now in 6 mos the Dr will again check it out and then it will be an annual check. I was a bus driver and so couldn't drink lots of water, retired and better. Thanks Doc!
Dr. Thank you for the information on bladder cancer been going though this for five years have had three tumors removed in five years no tumors found in January going back to the doctor in July hope all go well will let you know what happens, thanks again for your information.
My late husband had it. It was in the muscle of the bladder. Had to have a urostomy and chemo. His first symptom was blood in the urine that Eventually lead to large clots that required him to need a catheter and leg bag until surgery.
Congratulations on your 1 million subscribers! I have really enjoyed your videos and greatly appreciate both the urological and sexual content. Keep them coming!
Hello Dr Malik love your videos. Was diagnosed with high invasive bladder cancer as well as prostate cancer. Originally did not appear I had any tumors in the muscle so we started with BCG treatment completed 2 rounds of treatment then a tumor was found with a CT scan. A cystoscopy verified it was in the muscle. From your video it sounds like my Doctors treatment was lame is on point. Doing 4-6 rounds of chemo followed by removal of both the bladder and prostate. Tolerating chemo well so far…had it today and still went to the gym but did an easy work out. To complicate matters I was also diagnosed with multiple autoimmune issues about 8 years ago. I have IGG4, autoimmune pancreatitis and kidney disease as well as diabetes but believe that was steroid induced as despite all that I’m in fairly decent shape. I get rituxin infusions for the autoimmune diseases but they all seem to be in remission. I did smoke off and on for 30 years but quit 10 years ago but was also exposed to radiation and took cyclophosphamide for awhile. Would appreciate any advice and if you think my doctor is on point.
How are you doing, how did/are youtolerating the infusions a family member had cysectomy this week and will have the infusions after he puts on some weight. Crossing our fingers the kidney that was nonfunctioning due to blockage from the tumor is which showing a little improvement continues.
Wow, if I ever get bladder cancer I hope my future urologist wouldn't have been given only a "B+" on this part of the final exam. From your explanation, Dr. Malik, it sounds way too easy to miss a step, or two, anywhere along the way in this process even for the most competent doctors.
Dear Rana Malik MD, i came late after 2 years date of the video, have watched your wonderful true treatment of bladder cancer, my wife is now suffering from bladder cancer T1 accord ti CT scan, but the urologist after completed the cystoscopy, determined the only option is cystectomy, the initial BCG treatment has not mentioned, I wonder that has my wife been treated by non competent urologist. many Thanks
Hello...I have had both Hematureia and gross Hematureia since January and have had a CT scan which showed nothing but after making an appointment with a referred Urologist I'm having a Cystascopy tomorrow 4/25/'24 I don't want to have anything serious a wrong with me ( cancer) I just want to know what is causing the blood in my urine. Thank for your very detailed information. Bye from Ohio🌹
Thanks this was a great presentation I got bladder cancer three years ago I had two surgeries to correct it. Then I went thru a number of BCG treatments to prevent future cancer. At this point I am cancer free. What I would like to address is how I got it. For 40 years I was a refer tech and I was breathing all the chemicals when I was silver soldering and changing compressors. I was breathing cadmium and phosgene gas with no protective gear. If you are in the HVAC/Refer service you need to pay attention By the way I have never smoked Thanks again Joe Yelda Sub Zero/Whirlpool service
My father is recovering from a radical cystectomy with urinary diversion via ileal conduit. This was suggested as the best option as complications are managed easier compared to a neobladder or other options. Still, it has not been easy as he has had multiple complications
Hey, my father also diagnosed with high grade muscle invasive bladder cancer, doctor told us to remove entire bladder and lymph node. Father is not ready to remove bladder. Because after removing bladder there will be still complications. So we have taken another doctor suggestion he suggested radiation and chemotherapy. Is it right path or not. Removing bladder is good or radiation? Please reply
Hey, I'm sorry to hear about your father. Bladder removal is certainly a major change to lifestyle. After 1 year, my father has become accustomed to the change and is able to live independently now. He also completed chemo/radiation. Ultimately, the best treatment is based upon the staging of cancer. If the doctor is suggesting removal of bladder and lymph nodes, they may be concerned about cancer spreading to other organs/tissues. I can not offer medical advice, but I certainly would listen to your doctors!
Thanks Dr. I am having an uptake CT in a couple of weeks. Thing that tipped my doc was microscopic blood in urine. Barely above allowable maximum. Quit smoking 3 years ago. So we will see what transpires. Thanks for your channel
Dr. Malik, I'm very thankful I found your channel and I appreciate the education and understanding you bring in your videos. I know this is off topic but, where is the best place I should post a question for your RUclips channel?
Thank you for showing the list of genetic disorders. My maternal grandmother died of bladder cancer and now I'm showing a test + for it... Everyone on my mom's side has died of cancer... and one of those syndromes describe my son and his two sons to a T :/ So you may have helped to save them, or at least make them aware...
I had a tumor found by cysto. and it was cut out early before symptoms and ruled out by pathologist. Yay I get crap thrown at me every year. Used to it by now. No wonder I'm in a crap load of antidepressants.and benzos oh well, gotta deal with cards dealt no complaining allowed
I was just diagnosed with a tumor in my bladder, so I am totally new to this world. I am 64, ,male. I had a gross hematuria about 8 months ago. My old urologist said he did not see anything, and totally discounted the CT scan that showed a tiny polyp on the lower left bladder. He said it was probably just a fold and no need to be concerned. So, 8 month later, I had a severe gross hematuria. Dark red with clots. My doctor sent me to a new urologist. He said that the previous CT, and the second bout of bleeding warranted another check. He quickly found a large polyp in the lower left bladder. I am not set up for the Scraping and biopsy in a couple weeks. I must say, this totally scares the crap out of me. I hope my tumor is the good kind. Your video was very informative and helpful. Your presentation was awesome. Thanks for the information. I wish you were my doctor.
It's important to treat EARLY and to catch bladder cancer soon. I blood in the urine Thanksgiving and couldn't get in to see a Urologist for too long, so went to Emergency as directed by my primary doctor. He even called ahead so they would be prepared to serve me; then, that same night I had an operation and was recovering in the morning. Since it was non-invasive, I have not experienced any reoccurrence, but I still get looked at every three months. As long as there is no muscle invasiveness you will be fine.
I was diagnosed with bladder cancer, did have a lot of large blood clots. Cystoscopy done surgery done times 3, first series of BCG done and completed scheduled in October for surgery again. Hopefully results are negative.
Strange, I would have thought drinking would make bladder cancer more likely other than smoking. But she's right...if you see blood in excess from anything, get help! (That's peeing, pooping, or vomiting blood) Also unexplained chronic pain. Oh, I just thought of why drinking is less likely...by the time it gets to the bladder, the liver and kidneys have eliminated the ethanol.
Well my friendly very informative doctor I'm wanting to know I'm healthy I'm 68-69 I don't have enlarged prostate but I have frequent urination daytime and also at night time and I'm wondering if there is something that I need to be doing different to improve my situation so that I don't have to be urinating throughout the night and of course during the day
Thank you Dr. Malik for all you do for ur viewers and congrats on mil mark. At 66 having experienced a battle with anti biotic resistant bladder infection, something i dt wish on anyone i care for. With that said im wondering if im prone to bladder cancer due to this bladder infection. It has me concerned cuz not only do i have prostate cancer but ive devolped stricture. How from this point on does my uro ck for bladder cancer? Having stricture and all? Thank you so much Dr. Malik
Family member just had a Radical Sycestomy prior 1 kidney was non functional as the tumor was causing a blockage. He is recoverying still in the hospital biopsy determined stage 3 no spread in the prostate that was removed or the lymphs....
Thank You for the information. I have a cyst on my kidney as I am told. They first saw it in a CT scan and later they did a ultrasound to see it. What questions should I ask? What should I be concerned about? During this examination they said I had a Kidney stone, enlarged prostate, and Testicular calcification on the left testicle. Would that cause more concern? I never passed the stone but I have not been told they saw it during the second ultrasound. I have watched your videos but trying now to connect the dots.
Thank you for this info, I have been diagnosed with Ta1 after a turbt ! I have had my 6 weeks of BCG and will have a cystoscope on 2/28 then . The doctor said the cancer I have is the most aggressive, but we caught it very early! If all goes well I will have 3 BCG’s in April then every 3 months like you explained here.. Thank you for all you helpful video’s. Fran Leavens
well i have the million dollar answer the doctors sit around the table shaking there heads at, men die off because they hear scraping, in threw the pee hole ( nicely put doc) no guessing, and way to many follow up exams, and it still comes back to kill ya. this is was a good info video doc, thanks for the effort. id rather just be sick and die. you told us lot, that didnt work in the doctors favor, and the part no one wants to hear that wasnt discussed is price and time. good day.
My first round with bladder cancer was treated with BCG. No one told me that future skin TB Tests could result in false positive results. Providers should be making use of aware of this so alternative testing can be done.

So if you have a CT that shows thickening of the bladder wall, and you're in a higher risk because of smoking and a career in industrial coatings that exposes you to the majority of the chemicals you mentioned like ameines, hydrocarbons, solvents ect... Wouldn't the next step be the camera procedure you spoke about in the video to look for any small tumors, or inflamed areas of concern. I ask this because I've been dealing with a lot of the issues you mentioned with urgency, ect... along with random kidney issues, anemia of chronic disease, and an enlarged prostate. All of which an answer can not be found of why I'm having these problems, I saw a urologist and felt a bit blown off by here she checked my prostate and then just prescribed Flomax to help supposedly with prostate issue which she believed is what is causing the urinary issues. I've been poked and prodded over the past year and a half and have seen a lot of different specialists with no answers or direction, just treatment of symptoms, which none of the treatments have given much relief at all.
Microscopic cells in urine is how they discovered my kidney stone. They were about to send me home when this test came in and they said "uh, wait a minute, maybe we spoils do some more tests".
I have gross hematuria. Im waiting on results now. I was negative for a UTI, no infections, no kidney stones. The first doctor said that sometimes you have blood in your urine and there is no cause and just live with it.
@@lakendrajones8449 I had a bladder biopsy. I have Stage one Bladder Cancer. Highly treatable. I'm already scheduled for the removal and follow up treatment.
I just recently noticed a tiny bit of Red blood after going to the bathroom, i went right to the doctor, he performed two ultrasound imaging, urine test and thankfully there was a urologist in the same office who performed a Cystoscopy , he saw something, but said its very tiny and couldn’t see it clearly. he sent me to have a CT scan and referred me to a Specialist at NYU. i went and the Dr. confirmed it was bladder cancer. small but there. i ask him at what stage is it. and he said zero. to under one ! I’m scheduled for an operation in the hospital the end of august. he’s going to scrape it out and put a fluid inside for a hour or so i guess. I’m 64. i smoke. i have to quit. and I’m terrified , i read , and watch videos on youtube , and it’s all so complicated. I’m hoping for the best. I’m hoping it didn’t spread anywhere , the CT scan was clear everywhere else. but in my mind all thoughts run rampant 24/7. It’s supposed to be same day then i go home. follow is about a week and half later. in September! Thank you for your video ! ❤
Well I will assume I am screwed (my own fault) but if not cancer what else can cause blood in the urine if you are negative for a UTI? Oh and thanks for all the videos you make. They are very informative and presented in a way that is also entertaining! I love those little 30 second you squeeze in.
Guess I should update my posts. Easy to forget where you made them though. I had a cystoscopy revealing a small mushroom shaped tumor. (Benign). I had surgery. Peeing went from a trickle to that of a 12 year old! Followed up with a cystoscopy again. All gone. I am going to have a final cysto and then im walking away from this adventure. Good luck with your ultrasound.@@strawberrypizza6798
It doesn't hurt at all when the doctor snakes the video camera up your pee hole either. It has warm water spurting out, so it's imperceptible. And afterwards, you'll piss like a firehose for about a week. The camera opens up the plumbing inside. But you can't do it too many times or it will damage the muscles, and then you'll have to wear diapers for the rest of your life, which, because you wear diapers, won't be very long. 🤣
I was diagnosed with muscle invasive bladder cancer at age 41. Two tumors two types of cancer. Have had chronic UTIs my whole life and that was my only symptom. I had 5 rounds of MVAC chemo and a neo bladder created Jan 7th, 2019. If you see this please tell me what my chances of reoccurrence are?? Thank you.. oh I’m also STILL having chronic UTIs in my neo bladder and none of my doctors know why.. any advice there? It’s scary because the chemo ruined my kidneys so I now also have CKD stage 3b so I’m limited in treatment options.
I’ve been having the symptoms. I had a CT SCAN and ultrasound on kidneys . Blood work done and abdominal pain . Microscopic Hematuturia but I’m on birth control for 10 years , they don’t know where it’s coming from .
Hi. I had haematuria in urine. After antibiotics, it stopped but pus cells till high. USG was normal. But I fee urine leakage drop by drop automatically.. what can be the reason?
I had a urinary incontinence procedure done back in approx 2003 done using Durasphere injected. I was around 29 years old. I've had a lot of UTI's over the years and urinary pain. Im in my early 50s now. Im receiving results over and over that i have small amounts of blood in my urine but no infection. Lab results that were sent out of office for testing urine showed no infection or explanation. My dr didn't seem too concerned about it. My endocrinologist, who i see for a thyroid problem, told me blood in the urine always warrants investion if theirs no kidney stones, infection, etc . any thoughts??
You’ll probably never see this, but I had pink urine three times in one day. I’m a 52-year-old male. I went to the doctor within two days and on the urinalysis they didn’t find anything concerning no infection there was UA blood intact negative, but there was less than three red blood cell or whatever, so based on that, my physician said I could get further testing but he didn’t necessarily feel like I needed it. Now I’m stuck between worrying that maybe I should get checked further but hesitant asked it as in spending money when there might not be an issue so I guess my question would be is it possible to have gross hematuria then have nothing Significant show up on urinalysis
Not that I'm pro-tobacco, but have their been any objective studies finding a causal relationship between smoking and bladder cancer? Or is the correlation simply that, with no causal data?
I was on the wc every 30 minutes both day and night.. I went to the urology clinic and they put a pipe in my bladder and looked.. it hurt..... They saw some polyps.. it was malign cancer.. I went to surgery like 1 week later and then 2 more surgery to take a way thetumors and som of the bladder.. they put cystostatica directly in the bladder.. I had 30% to live and 70% to die... After some years like 5 years I was cancerfree.. But I was 33 and for the next 20 year I was afraid to get any kind of cancer back.. that fear was so hard to live with.. If I haven't gone to the urology when I did it would have killed me.... So go to the urology as soon as your bladder behaves different... I HAD NO BLOOD and the doctor said that ifI had waited 2-3 months they wouldn't have saved me.. I had problem over one year before I went to the doctor
I notice change in my urine colour only when am dehydrated, it's reddish but clears after hydration but during this time there is pain/burning sensation before and after urination. What could this sign be?

I was just diagnosed with a tumor in my bladder, so I am totally new to this world. I am 64, ,male. I had a gross hematuria about 8 months ago. My old urologist said he did not see anything, and totally discounted the CT scan that showed a tiny polyp on the lower left bladder. He said it was probably just a fold and no need to be concerned. So, 8 month later, I had a severe gross hematuria. Dark red with clots. My doctor sent me to a new urologist. He said that the previous CT, and the second bout of bleeding warranted another check. He quickly found a large polyp in the lower left bladder. I am not set up for the Scraping and biopsy in a couple weeks. I must say, this totally scares the crap out of me. I hope my tumor is the good kind. Your video was very informative and helpful. Your presentation was awesome. Thanks for the information. I wish you were my doctor.
It's important to treat EARLY and to catch bladder cancer soon. I blood in the urine Thanksgiving and couldn't get in to see a Urologist for too long, so went to Emergency as directed by my primary doctor. He even called ahead so they would be prepared to serve me; then, that same night I had an operation and was recovering in the morning. Since it was non-invasive, I have not experienced any reoccurrence, but I still get looked at every three months. As long as there is no muscle invasiveness you will be fine.
I was diagnosed with bladder cancer, did have a lot of large blood clots. Cystoscopy done surgery done times 3, first series of BCG done and completed scheduled in October for surgery again. Hopefully results are negative.
Very intelligent woman, great info.👏👏👏
Congratulations on your millions of subscribers
Thank you I have a family member with bladder cancer.
Strange, I would have thought drinking would make bladder cancer more likely other than smoking. But she's right...if you see blood in excess from anything, get help! (That's peeing, pooping, or vomiting blood) Also unexplained chronic pain.
Oh, I just thought of why drinking is less likely...by the time it gets to the bladder, the liver and kidneys have eliminated the ethanol.
Well my friendly very informative doctor I'm wanting to know I'm healthy I'm 68-69 I don't have enlarged prostate but I have frequent urination daytime and also at night time and I'm wondering if there is something that I need to be doing different to improve my situation so that I don't have to be urinating throughout the night and of course during the day
Thank you Dr. Malik for all you do for ur viewers and congrats on mil mark. At 66 having experienced a battle with anti biotic resistant bladder infection, something i dt wish on anyone i care for. With that said im wondering if im prone to bladder cancer due to this bladder infection. It has me concerned cuz not only do i have prostate cancer but ive devolped stricture. How from this point on does my uro ck for bladder cancer? Having stricture and all? Thank you so much Dr. Malik
What beautiful infirmation by the docyor. Stay blessed badan

Congratulations for one million subscribers Rena 🥰😍🥰
Curious about Prostate cancer diagnosis and outcomes. Awaiting a biopsy on a lump on my prostate. Also have a mass on my kidney for 3 years. Thanks.
Thank You for the information. I have a cyst on my kidney as I am told. They first saw it in a CT scan and later they did a ultrasound to see it. What questions should I ask? What should I be concerned about? During this examination they said I had a Kidney stone, enlarged prostate, and Testicular calcification on the left testicle. Would that cause more concern? I never passed the stone but I have not been told they saw it during the second ultrasound. I have watched your videos but trying now to connect the dots.
You provided a lot of useful information
Thank you for this info, I have been diagnosed with Ta1 after a turbt ! I have had my 6 weeks of BCG and will have a cystoscope on 2/28 then . The doctor said the cancer I have is the most aggressive, but we caught it very early! If all goes well I will have 3 BCG’s in April then every 3 months like you explained here..
Thank you for all you helpful video’s. Fran Leavens
well i have the million dollar answer the doctors sit around the table shaking there heads at, men die off because they hear scraping, in threw the pee hole ( nicely put doc) no guessing, and way to many follow up exams, and it still comes back to kill ya. this is was a good info video doc, thanks for the effort. id rather just be sick and die. you told us lot, that didnt work in the doctors favor, and the part no one wants to hear that wasnt discussed is price and time. good day.
My brother was lucky. He was getting scans for a kidney stone he was passing when they notice the beginning of bladder cancer. 8:28
My first round with bladder cancer was treated with BCG. No one told me that future skin TB Tests could result in false positive results. Providers should be making use of aware of this so alternative testing can be done.
Waaaaao it's. Amzaing

Thank you, Rena! That was interesting.
Very true…but very scary 😦
So if you have a CT that shows thickening of the bladder wall, and you're in a higher risk because of smoking and a career in industrial coatings that exposes you to the majority of the chemicals you mentioned like ameines, hydrocarbons, solvents ect... Wouldn't the next step be the camera procedure you spoke about in the video to look for any small tumors, or inflamed areas of concern. I ask this because I've been dealing with a lot of the issues you mentioned with urgency, ect... along with random kidney issues, anemia of chronic disease, and an enlarged prostate. All of which an answer can not be found of why I'm having these problems, I saw a urologist and felt a bit blown off by here she checked my prostate and then just prescribed Flomax to help supposedly with prostate issue which she believed is what is causing the urinary issues. I've been poked and prodded over the past year and a half and have seen a lot of different specialists with no answers or direction, just treatment of symptoms, which none of the treatments have given much relief at all.
Hey Doc ty again for all you do
As always very interesting.
Congrats on 1 mil subs
Microscopic cells in urine is how they discovered my kidney stone. They were about to send me home when this test came in and they said "uh, wait a minute, maybe we spoils do some more tests".
I have gross hematuria. Im waiting on results now. I was negative for a UTI, no infections, no kidney stones. The first doctor said that sometimes you have blood in your urine and there is no cause and just live with it.
How are you? Did everything come back okay with your results?
@@lakendrajones8449 I had a bladder biopsy. I have Stage one Bladder Cancer. Highly treatable. I'm already scheduled for the removal and follow up treatment.
I just recently noticed a tiny bit of Red blood after going to the bathroom, i went right to the doctor, he performed two ultrasound imaging, urine test and thankfully there was a urologist in the same office who performed a Cystoscopy , he saw something, but said its very tiny and couldn’t see it clearly. he sent me to have a CT scan and referred me to a Specialist at NYU. i went and the Dr. confirmed it was bladder cancer. small but there. i ask him at what stage is it. and he said zero. to under one ! I’m scheduled for an operation in the hospital the end of august. he’s going to scrape it out and put a fluid inside for a hour or so i guess. I’m 64. i smoke. i have to quit. and I’m terrified , i read , and watch videos on youtube , and it’s all so complicated. I’m hoping for the best. I’m hoping it didn’t spread anywhere , the CT scan was clear everywhere else. but in my mind all thoughts run rampant 24/7. It’s supposed to be same day then i go home. follow is about a week and half later. in September! Thank you for your video ! ❤
Well I will assume I am screwed (my own fault) but if not cancer what else can cause blood in the urine if you are negative for a UTI? Oh and thanks for all the videos you make. They are very informative and presented in a way that is also entertaining! I love those little 30 second you squeeze in.
Guess I should update my posts. Easy to forget where you made them though. I had a cystoscopy revealing a small mushroom shaped tumor. (Benign). I had surgery. Peeing went from a trickle to that of a 12 year old! Followed up with a cystoscopy again. All gone. I am going to have a final cysto and then im walking away from this adventure. Good luck with your ultrasound.@@strawberrypizza6798
Thank you Doc!
It doesn't hurt at all when the doctor snakes the video camera up your pee hole either. It has warm water spurting out, so it's imperceptible. And afterwards, you'll piss like a firehose for about a week. The camera opens up the plumbing inside. But you can't do it too many times or it will damage the muscles, and then you'll have to wear diapers for the rest of your life, which, because you wear diapers, won't be very long. 🤣
I was diagnosed with muscle invasive bladder cancer at age 41. Two tumors two types of cancer. Have had chronic UTIs my whole life and that was my only symptom. I had 5 rounds of MVAC chemo and a neo bladder created Jan 7th, 2019. If you see this please tell me what my chances of reoccurrence are?? Thank you.. oh I’m also STILL having chronic UTIs in my neo bladder and none of my doctors know why.. any advice there? It’s scary because the chemo ruined my kidneys so I now also have CKD stage 3b so I’m limited in treatment options.
Something on vasectomies please
I’ve been having the symptoms. I had a CT SCAN and ultrasound on kidneys . Blood work done and abdominal pain . Microscopic Hematuturia but I’m on birth control for 10 years , they don’t know where it’s coming from .
What happens when does benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) becomes not so benign?
Wow, bladder cancer and treatment is beyond awful.
Hi. I had haematuria in urine. After antibiotics, it stopped but pus cells till high. USG was normal. But I fee urine leakage drop by drop automatically.. what can be the reason?
I had a urinary incontinence procedure done back in approx 2003 done using Durasphere injected. I was around 29 years old. I've had a lot of UTI's over the years and urinary pain. Im in my early 50s now. Im receiving results over and over that i have small amounts of blood in my urine but no infection. Lab results that were sent out of office for testing urine showed no infection or explanation. My dr didn't seem too concerned about it. My endocrinologist, who i see for a thyroid problem, told me blood in the urine always warrants investion if theirs no kidney stones, infection, etc . any thoughts??
Get that checked asap wishing you well
You’ll probably never see this, but I had pink urine three times in one day. I’m a 52-year-old male. I went to the doctor within two days and on the urinalysis they didn’t find anything concerning no infection there was UA blood intact negative, but there was less than three red blood cell or whatever, so based on that, my physician said I could get further testing but he didn’t necessarily feel like I needed it. Now I’m stuck between worrying that maybe I should get checked further but hesitant asked it as in spending money when there might not be an issue so I guess my question would be is it possible to have gross hematuria then have nothing Significant show up on urinalysis
Not that I'm pro-tobacco, but have their been any objective studies finding a causal relationship between smoking and bladder cancer? Or is the correlation simply that, with no causal data?
I was on the wc every 30 minutes both day and night.. I went to the urology clinic and they put a pipe in my bladder and looked.. it hurt..... They saw some polyps.. it was malign cancer.. I went to surgery like 1 week later and then 2 more surgery to take a way thetumors and som of the bladder.. they put cystostatica directly in the bladder..
I had 30% to live and 70% to die... After some years like 5 years I was cancerfree..
But I was 33 and for the next 20 year I was afraid to get any kind of cancer back.. that fear was so hard to live with..
If I haven't gone to the urology when I did it would have killed me.... So go to the urology as soon as your bladder behaves different...
I HAD NO BLOOD and the doctor said that ifI had waited 2-3 months they wouldn't have saved me..
I had problem over one year before I went to the doctor
If one is over 65 and has to urinate several times a night is that a reason to have these tests?
My husband died from bladder cancer
1 mil baby wooo!
Every two weeks I have 1 drop of pink blood in my urine. I have a CT scan but the result is negative.
Awesome😍
Team qatar
Can you tell if it’s high grade or low grade by doing a bladder wash then looking at the wash under a microscope?
I love you😘
Is this why blood in my urine and reacurring UTI infection.
I notice change in my urine colour only when am dehydrated, it's reddish but clears after hydration but during this time there is pain/burning sensation before and after urination. What could this sign be?
BCG dosage dilution?
