Hematuria

February 27, 2013

Comments: 

“I had a bladder sling done about 3 yrs. ago, ever since on my yearly return, there is microscopic blood in my urine. My doctor just keeps telling me not to be concerned but offers no answers. I came through a very bad auto accident 11 yrs ago and I have been very fatigued and sometime suffer from anemia. Do I need to be concerned and follow up with this microscopic blood?”.

Answer:

You need to have your bladder looked at with camera. Many times you can normally have blood in your urine. But you first need to make sure it is nothing.
