Question 5

if a urinalysis shows no blood in urine  a week after a single gross hematuria event, does that mean the issue has resolved? (i.e. possible kidney stone passed, etc). i am on eliquis and had left flank plain 4 days before gross hematuria occurrence?

Accepted Answer

Yes, possible: Above scenario appears consistent with a passed stone, however you are left with the 2 conditions that contributed, taking a blood thinner and the propensity of forming stones and the risk for another such episode in the future remains high. Make sure all your treating docs are aware of recent events.

Question 7

82 yr old male  hard to urinate , leakage urine overflow, blood in urine , constipation sudden onset no prior problem can it be prostrate ?

Accepted Answer

Prostatitis: Yes. I think you are suffering from an inflamed or infected prostate gland.

You may want to get to your doctor to make sure this is nothing worse and to get on medications to solve this common problem.

Question 8

my dad is age 70. he has left flank pain, blood in urine, constipation. his pcp prescribed cipro (ciprofloxacin) even tho urinalysis came back neg for wbc.help!?

Accepted Answer

See a urologist. : For now, i would not discontinue the medication as prescribed, as there might be other information that indicates infection. Hopefully a urine culture was sent, which will confirm the diagnosis. Blood in the urinary tract should be evaluated, however, and i recommend seeing a urologist who can perform a full evaluation with history, physical exam, and urine testing.

Question 9

gross hematuria with blood clots but only after sexual activity. urine clear when no sexual activity occurs. prostate? busted seminal vessel? ua was neg for protein blood etc. white count normal too. thoughts?

Accepted Answer

: Bladder cancer would be my first concern. Someone needs to look in ur bladder.

Question 10

gross hematuria, end of urination. blood samples, urine samples done. no infection. "tense" bladder, lower back pain, occasional scrotum/testicle pain?

Accepted Answer

Hmm...: I bet you've got a little vascular malformation that's grown in your prostatic urethra. Time to get with a urologist. You're a young man, probably in the peak of good health, and pain around there is surely a nuisance. We can figure it out and fix it, I'll bet. Best wishes.
