polyp on bladder

by bren0220, Mar 30, 2009 09:09AM
4 years ago when I had blood in my urine , I had ultrasound. everything checked out ok.. but was told I had a small benign polyp... they said to do nothing.. not to worryabout it. How can they tell its benign without biopsy? I have not had any other problems and my kidney samples never had blood again. Just wondered if I should have polyp removed in your opnion.

Hi Brenda,

Bladder polyps are growths in the lining of the bladder and may be asymptomatic or may present with painful or frequent urination or bleeding. The cause of most benign and cancerous bladder polyps is unknown.  Benign bladder polyps may require removal to confirm if they are not cancerous and to prevent bleeding or other urinary symptoms. Early detection and treatment of cancerous bladder polyps are associated with the best outcomes.  Talk to your doctor about this. It would help if you have this evaluated further for proper management.

Take care and keep us posted.
