What Causes Blood In Urine When Diagnosed With Bladder Cancer?
I was diagnosed with Bladder Cancer 1 year ago.....I have been on a regiment of BCG since, I am going for my 6 month checkup and BCG administration in the next few weeks. Since this past Thursday, I have some lite blood in my urine on and off sometimes with scabs sometimes without.
Hello and thanks you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can with my answer.
The cause is tumor and ulcerations in bladder due to chemo and radiotherapy. If this is not significant then you don't need to be worried and it will subside with time. However,if there is large amount of blood,you should see urologist.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
