Possible bladder cancer?

Hi . Blood in urine can be caused by a number of things but still needs to be investigated. Ultrasounds are not always ideal at picking up bladder cancer. The real test is a flexible cystoscopy (A camera in the bladder). This will show if there is anything untoward going on. You need to push to see a urologist for this, if only to rule things out. Best wishes.

Just to second Rily's comment. I was told by a GP that my blood in urine was vaginal atrophy, it is not unusual for female bladder cancer to be overlooked. Push to see a urologist. Good luck. x

Hello Sunflower,

Mrs G has vagnal atrophy from the menopause and there is always invisible but detectable blood in the urine. She has a sort of pessary to help lubrication. But rily is right; a flexible cystocopy will find out if anything's going on.

Keep in touch.

All the best,

gandulf.

Thank you so much  Riley. With the backlog from COVID & my GP practice not at all bothered by the discomfort I am in. ( thank goodness for the locum) I am totally worn out as up throught the night now with a feeling of a full bladder but passing a spoonful. I will search for a urologist x

Hi Herothedog, 

Did you have my symtoms? I can’t even sit down with this discomfort. Much worse since I saw the physio. I shall not be going to her again x

Hi Gandulf, 

I shall look up Mrs G, thank you. I wonder if she has my symptoms also. I am so worried & with not sleeping I feel so awful x

I didn’t have any other symptoms, just blood in urine. Hope things get sorted out soon for you. x

Ok thank you x
