Question 1

i'm 20yo guy.passed a tiny black speck in urine at the beginning of urine stream.what might have caused it?scared of bladder, urethral and such cancers

Accepted Answer

Unlikelky concerns: Cancer of the bladder/urethra is not a consideration at this young age. Most such cancers develop in middle to older age groups. Just  quit worrying about such issues and do not look for any specks etc in the urine. Only if there is blood in the urine you have to get concerned about cancer like problems. So get your mind of this matter.

Question 5

what kind of cancer can it be if you have blood in the urine?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily CA: Blood in the urine (hematuria) has many possible causes, including kidney/bladder stones or kidney cysts, urinary tract infections, urethral trauma.  Cancers commonly associated with hematuria include renal cell carcinoma (a kidney cancer), and bladder cancer. (see also dr. Klauber's very important comment.).

Question 6

a urine analysis shows squemous cells.  does this mean cancer.?

Accepted Answer

No!: Squamous cells are normal cells of the covering of the bladder and of the external and internal genital organs and are normally seen in the urine.
Atypical cells can be found in urine cytology as a possible sign of bladder cancer to be followed by cystoscopy to be sure of the diagnosis.

Question 7

there was a trace of blood found in my urine. is it likely its cancer?

Accepted Answer

: There are many reasons to have a trace of blood in your urine. You could have stones somewhere in your urinary tract that could cause blood. There could be a urinary tract infection so a urine culture would be helpful. You should see a urologist to determine why you have blood in your urine. At your age (58),blood in the urine is not normal so you should see a urologist for diagnosis and treatment

Question 8

i had a urine test done & everything was normal. what are some of the things that a urine test can determine? can it determine if you have any cancers

Accepted Answer

Limited use: Urinalysis picks up a very limited number of things, many of which are of considerable importance, but it's no screen for general health. A kidney or bladder cancer or stone can produce blood in the urine; an infection can introduce white cells. Some crystals may warn of stones.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

It can be,: if prostate cancer is causing obstruction, it can cause overflow incontinence.  It could also damage nerves, which can lead to loss of sphincter control.  Consult with a urologist for more specific advice.

Question 10

can gi cancers cause strong urine odor?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: That would be a new one i've never heard before.  Things that commonly cause urine to smell include certain foods (asparagus and garlic) as well as infection.  Also a fistula between the bladder and colon could cause this.  See your doctor.
