Wait for evaluation: Wait for full report , it is good no visible tumor , always possible to have an early recurrence not seen by necked eye only by urine cytology , even if it is , possible to get rid of it. Speak to your doctor.

Several things: With a history of bladder cancer, recurrence would be a possibility. With a negative scope, this is less likely. Urinary tract stones, infection or prostate inflammation can also cause microscopic hematuria.

How common is bladder cancer in 22 year-old females? My urine flow tends to end before I feel empty & when I push for more, only a few drops come out. I did a urinalysis and it was normal. Does this seem characteristic of a bladder cancer/tumor?
