the cuase of my symptoms?

My symptoms over 3 months:

-burning and frequent urination
-microscopic blood in urine
-elavated psa ( 1.87 for an age of 36, normal value < 1.4).

Tests done:
1-) ct scan of urinary tract (1.5 months ago): everything was normal, except 5 mm stone in the left kidney.
the radiologist had an impression of a little bladder wall thickening but was not sure if this is due to an incompletely filled bladder (i went to toilet before ct scan) or due to an organic reason. He was suggesting cystoscopy to be done.

2-) cystoscopy (1.5 months ago): normal

3-) urine cytology (1.5 months ago): negative

4-) Had SWL (3 weeks ago) one time to break the kidney stone

5-) ultrasound of urinary tract (3 days ago): everything was normal except still 5 mm left kidney stone.

Not: in my urine tests, always no infection but almost always crystallization.

Question: What is the reason for my symptoms (burning, frequent urination and microscopic hematuria)?
Can it be bladder cancer?

I will be happy for feedback.

The symptoms that you are describing are basically those of a person with a 5 mm kidney stone. I've had many stones over the years and those are the symptoms that I have every time with smaller and larger stones, with the possible exception of a POSSIBLE bladder wall thickening and that certainly not a definite. Don't worry yourself to death about anything until you have this additional test done. Sounds to me like your kidney stone is just giving you the NORMAL symptoms for a stone being present and a 5 mm stone is not an ultra small stone.

Hi Justme,

Sorry, I have no additional information or suggestions to offer - as I responded to your same post in the Urology Community. My heart goes out to you.

I do hope someone in this community will take a look at your questions with a "new set of eyes" - and offer addition info and suggestions for you. It never hurts to keep searching - as you have with the Urologist.

I wish you well,
~Tuck
