Question 1

i had a camera inside my bladder and it showed spots inside , what is this?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It  is hard to say from the description.  It may  evidence  of  inflammation , chronic  infection  or  other problems.  Ask your  md  what  he  found, what it means and how to treat it.

Question 2

i have traces of blood in my urine with back  and side pain i get this quite a lot i had  a camera in my bladder in 2009 and everything was ok .?

Accepted Answer

Renal imaging needed: Have you had images taken of your kidneys? Pain in the kidney area can be caused by kidney stones which are fairly straightforward to diagnose. Otherwise, trace blood will not require any further cystoscopy (i.e. Camera in the bladder) unless urine becomes visibly bloody in the future. Please contact your urologist who performed the original cystoscopy to follow-up.

Question 3

frothy urine, 1-2 times a day, urine dip stick and bloods show nothing. bladder camera scan all clear. i have benign polyp can this be the cause?

Accepted Answer

May be normal ...: Seeing frothy urine sporadically - not consistently -  could be normal for you reflecting urine concentration + what you consume resulting in temporary alteration in certain ingredients forging bubbling. So, if all your check-ups in urine, urine flow, residual urine, blood, etc. show normal or unremarkable findings, you need no to worry further. As to benign polyp, I assume it at bladder neck - ok

Question 4

had cystoscopy.doctor is saying i need an xray of my bladder. what better knowledge will an xray give. i would think a camera in my bladder shows more?

Accepted Answer

Not always: There are many reasons to order an xray, ct or even both. The cystoscope only sees the lining of the bladder. Ct will show virtually all renal or bladder stones, and a plain xray helps deterimine where those stones are is lithotripsy is an option. Most people with blood in the urine (hematuria) get a combination of 2 or sometimes all 3. It depends what this issue is.

Question 5

had a ct scan revealled i had 2 mm stone but they are worried about thickening of the bladder and want me infor a camera op is that serious?

Accepted Answer

Cystoscopy : Thickening of the bladder wall can be normal if the CT was taken when your bladder wasn't full. But it can also be caused by infection or cancer. This is not to get you worried, but to say that it can be many different things. Your doctor wants to put a camera shaped like a small tube through the urethra to look directly at the bladder wall (cystoscope) and make sure everything is ok.

Question 6

had camera in bladder today after consistent micro.blood in urine.they found irritation in bladder&mentioned possible leaking kidney in future but didnt seem concerned at all.is the irritation cause 4 concern?what is leaking kidney&can i prevent it?

Accepted Answer

Microhematuria: I think the urologist meant that the kidney may be leaking red blood cells. If microhematuria persists, for complete evaluation and peace of mind,  I recommend an ultrasound of the kidneys to look for cysts or growths, urine culture(if not already done) and a cytology examination of the urine to look for malignant cells.

Question 7

what test diagnoses an overractive bladder?

Accepted Answer

See answer: Overactive bladder (oab) is a symptom complex that is characterized by urinary urgency, with or without urge incontinence, associated with urinary frequency and nocturia in the absence of pathologic or metabolic conditions that may cause or mimic oab. Diagnosis is made by a thorough history, physical exam, urinalysis, post-void residual urine, and voiding diary. Urodynamics and cystoscopy optional.

Question 8

what are some of the tests for overactive bladder?

Accepted Answer

The tests for Overactive Bladder include::   Urinalysis, Postvoid residual.

Question 9

tests that tell you if you have an overactive bladder?

Accepted Answer

Urine, ultrasound: A urine test (ua)  for infection and other conditions (e.g. Diabetes). A bladder ultrasound can rule out  atonic (lazy bladder) or other conditions (e.g. Mass 'pressing' on bladder causing irritative symptoms, obstruction).

Question 10
