For the past 3 years I have been peeing way too much. About 8 times per night and 1 time per hour all day even when not drinking alot of water. I have a weak stream and it takes me about 21 seconds to pee it all out at that pace. If I drink the amount of water I'm supposed to drink per day I will pee about 2 to 3 times per hour. My symptoms started over 3 years ago but 11 months ago I had a cystoscopy which showed inflamation. I was scheduled for a a CT scan which came out clear and cytology which came out clear and a second cystoscopy which I didn't get a chance to go. Before I was able to get the scope I lost my insurance. In the past month I had a 24 hour urine collection that showed trace blood. (that was the first time ever showed trace blood in urine). I had my follow up cystoscopy finally today and it showed a small red mark that looked like a thin flat upside down redish triangle. I asked him if it could be interstitial cystitus and he said he doesn't think so because other wise It would be more spread out. I asked him if it could be cancer and he said it could be but he won't know anything until the biopsy.The dr scheduled me for a biopsy. I'm really scared. I'm male and I'm only 43. I have a 12 year old daughter that depends on me and her mom is mentally I'll so my daughter needs me here at least until she's old enough to have a good job and care for her self. I know I just need to wait till I get my biopsy to know for sure but I am stunned right now. What is the chance that a focused, flat red patch like that is not cancer? I'm feel like I'm floating in limbio right now. Is there hope that I don't have bladder cancer? And if it's not, what could cause a red spot like that in my bladder along with all of these symptoms? I already have health anxiety being a registered nurse so I'm having a hard time coping.
Hi .We are not medics and so can only go on our own experiences, but being on here for many years, I cannot recall the subject coming up. I have searched the forum group and can find no mention of any connection of bladder cancer and ascites. Do your doctors have any information on this? Best wishes.
