seeing blood spots in urine
Feb 04, 2009 in the Urologic Cancer Community
Any possiblity you are pregnant? If not, then blood in the urine requires a very specific workup that includes three tests: 1. Urine culture and cytology - to look for infection and abnormal cells 2. CT scan of kidney and pelvis to look for kidney lesions and lymph nodes 3. Cystoscopy - a small camera to inspect the lining of the bladder for any abno...
Chances of bladder cancer in 27 year old female.
Feb 04, 2009 in the Urologic Cancers Expert Forum
Although it is possible for any age person to have bladder cancer, it is far more common in the elderly. Nonetheless, any person with even microscopic blood in the urine requires three tests: 1. Urine culture and cytology to look for infection and abnormal cells 2. CT scan or MRI of the kidney and pelvis to look for kidney lesions and lymph node enlargem...
Red Blotch on Glans of Penis
Feb 04, 2009 in the Urologic Cancers Expert Forum
There are many causes for a "red blotch" on the penis. Some include infection, allergic reaction, trauma. The penile skin has the same chance of getting skin cancer from sunbathing as other parts of your body. If the area has gotten larger, you should have it examined by your doctor. Just to be sure. As far as the bump, again, without an exam i...
testicular cancer or calcium
Feb 04, 2009 in the Urologic Cancers Expert Forum
This is a difficult question to answer, and one that probably does not have an answer. Most testicular cancers have a "typical" appearance on ultrasound, with or without calcium deposits. Many men/boys can have calcium in the testis known as "microlithiasis" that is not cancerous. Most important is that you know now, and have a treatmen...

Pain after Neobladder surgery
Dec 18, 2008 in the Urologic Cancers Expert Forum
Novafan, It does take a while to adjust to your new system. Of course, you must have close follow up with your surgeon after a big operation like this one. You should continue to irrigate your neobladder regularly, so that mucous does not accumulate and cause an infection or obstruction. If the pain is persistent still or getting worse consult your surg...
tesical growth
Dec 11, 2008 in the Urologic Cancers Expert Forum
Lymphedema can cause the scrotum to enlarge and shrink due to fluid accumulation. Usually this is not a problem, from time to time the fluid can become infected and cause trouble. Usually the symptoms are pain, fever, or cloudy discharge. If the testicle itself is enlarged (as opposed to the scrotum) then that can be a symptoms of infection as well and des...
blood in my semen
Dec 11, 2008 in the Urologic Cancers Expert Forum
Several things can cause blood in semen (called hematospermia). Most of the time it is self-limited and goes away on it's own without any specific cause or treatment. Usually inflammation of the prostate/seminal vesicle or post-biopsy can be causes.
Colorectal cancer metastasis to kidney?
Dec 11, 2008 in the Urologic Cancers Expert Forum
Glad to help interpret the CT findings. Actually Hypertrophy is enlarged and atrophy is shrunken, therefore the left kidey is the large one and likely compensating for the right kidney. If the kidney is globally enlarged (as opposed to a discreet area or mass) then it is likely compensation hypertrophy as it doing the work of both kidneys and not a Met. ...
