Other caused such as kidney stones, menstruation contamination of the sample, kidney disease, and bladder of kidney cancer. A microscopic urine analysis is usually done to confirm the presents of red blood cells and urine culture is often done to rule out infection. If red cells are present in significant numbers, a CT scan of the kidneys and bladder are done. Cystoscopy, looking in the bladder with a small scope is usually performed as well.
In 2007, I was diagnosed with bladder cancer, via a FISH urine test. A biopsy of the bladder tissue was done in a bid to confirm or refute the diagnosis. The result of the biopsy was negative; however, every time the FISH urine test was repeated, it showed cancer cells associated with the bladder.
I asked for treatment, but was told that BECAUSE the location of the cancer was not established, treatment could not be offered. Instead, I submitted to a cystoscopy every six months.
I am assuming his urologist gave him what is known as the FISH Test, which measures the presence of cancer cells in the urine. The problem is the test does not tell you where the cells are from. That is why they have to do all this testing. Their assumption is, since he has had bladder cancer, the cells are from somewhere in the urinary tract system. This could lead to a whole lot of testing.
I HAD BLOOD IN MY URINE, PAIN IN THE BLADDER AREA, BUT NO URINARY INFECTION. WENT TO A UROLOGIST WHO ORDERED CT SCAN OF MY ABDOMEN , PELVIS, AND KIDNEY, AND DID A CYSTASCOPE, WHICH WERE ALL NORMAL. MY URINE CYTOLOGY CAME BACK SUSPICIOUS CELLS AND MY DOCTOR ORDERED A PHISH TEST. HE SAID IF IT COMES BACK POSITIVE IT DOES NOT MEAN I HAVE CANCER. HE WOULD JUST DO FOLLOW-UP CYSTASCOPES.
Age. The chance of getting bladder cancer goes up as people get older. People under 40 rarely get this disease.
Tobacco. The use of tobacco is a major risk factor. Cigarette smokers are two to three times more likely than nonsmokers to get bladder cancer. Pipe and cigar smokers are also at increased risk.
Occupation. Some workers have a higher risk of getting bladder cancer because of carcinogens in the workplace. Workers in the rubber, chemical, and leather industries are at risk.
It would have been very helpful if you gave us your age and gender. Bladder cancer would normally show up on ultrasound scan. However, the ultimate test for bladder cancer is cystoscopy. The thing about this type of cancer is that it can sit there for years and not invade the underlying tissues. So one way or the other you should be fine. If it were me I would ask for a cystoscopy.
when I drink water the symptoms of pressure go away
I have no other signs of anything, no pain no lower back pain no blood urine just this pressure....I am only worried about ovarian cancer. everything I read points to it, because I have no other symptoms of UTI I do have leakage when I laugh especially when my bladder is full, I loose a lot of urine.
cystoscopy - an office procedure where a urologist looks into your bladder through a tiny camera. 3. urine test to rule out infection and cytology to look for abnormal cells.
These three tests can identify most reasons for bleeding and rule out any serious reasons that may require further treatment. I would suggest seeing a urologist for these reasons.
In patients with a history of smoking, bladder cancer is the most common diagnosis of gross hematuria, and most tumors are found during cystoscopy. The risks of the procedure are low, and include, infection, trauma to the lower urinary tract, and bleeding. I would strongly suggest a complete work-up in your case and age group even if the bleeding has stopped. If you are young and a non-smoker, the incidence of bladder cancer is quite low, but a few simple tests can verify your situation.
One cannot readily distinguish between blood originating in the kidneys, ureters (the tubes that transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder), bladder, or urethra. Any degree of blood in the urine should be fully evaluated by a physician, even if it resolves spontaneously.
Infection of the urine, stemming either from the kidneys or bladder, is a common cause of microscopic hematuria.
Recently tested positive for the FISH-Urine test. I have had surgerys, radiation, chemo for bladder cancer.spanning 2000 - 2005. Apparently this test indicates that I am at high risk for recurrence of bladder cancer. Is there a time span in which one would expect a recurrence?
Are there any alternative natural products that may help prevent a recurrence or treat bladder cancer?
I saw blood in my urine. Went to my doctor and he did urine test that showed microscopic blood. He referred me for a ct scan and to a urologist. Ct scan report did not show any abnormalities . Urologist looked over ct scan and said he did seen something in bladder. He then did cystoscopy in his office and saw tumor. I had TURBT approximately 2 weeks later. Biopsy showed: high grade papillary urothelial carcinoma . Carcinoma invades the Lamina propria (pt1).
A repeat look into your bladder, a CT urogram (x-ray) and a urine sample looking for cancer cells (urine cytology or, more modern and undoubtedly more expensive, a FISH test of your urine sample) are where the answers lie for the more serious issues. Your stricture may have returned (they often do if just cut or stretched), Bladder and urethral cancers (urethral being the least likely) are possibles and can be identified at cystoscopy.
t see any cancer related issues on my bladder. He said i have to avoid alcohol and acidic drinks and drink lots of fluid. During past 5 month i used some Tanbaco for the first time in my life, and the doctor said that's the cause of irritation. After 5 days i couldn't see the blood in my urine anymore but after 15 days i did another urine analysis and there was microscopic blood in my urine.
What it's called when a sticky clear watery substance is constantly in your urethra most all the time and you have pain in your pelvic and groin and lower back that radiates to your right buttock and right leg.Is this cis bladder cancer or is this bladder cancer or bladder infection . I wan't to know because i've had chronic microscopic hematuria for six years now and i've had this clear sticky watery substance in my urethra constantly most all the time about eight years now .
i have been having uti s for over two years, there is a strong family history of cancer. I have had a urine test with squamous cells 20-50[ZTF] what ever that means?
I looked up what squamous means and my dr never addressed this , I have burning, pain, pain in my flank when i lay on my back (not bad) can not hold my pee, have had blood in urine, stones, also I have H pylori that will not go away not matter what we do to treat it with .
There were a few spots one in particular that looked funny and he took 2 samples from there. Her urine sample taken directly form the bladder by catheter during the last visit was not in yet which the Dr made it sound like that was not a good thing. Hard to get a good read on this guy but it seamed obvious. On a good note her pap came back negative. We see her onc next Tuesday
my wife is holding onto the pap test as a good sign but still realizes the cancer cells are coming form somewhere.
my dad has diabetes plus MS and he has been pissing blood for a week now almost like blood clots. we took him to the doctor bthey did nothing accept they told us he might have bladder or kidney cancer. i mean they haven't done a test yet so why would they tell us this? but he does go in for a colonascopy.
Present Problem: My urologist sprang a surprise on me that a PCA3 urine test came out positive (score 61.3) and I should consider getting a biopsy. This happened because I recently experienced pain at the base of penis. A barium catscan showed the presence of a 2mm stone lodged in my bladder. All other abdomen parts were normal.
