techniques. Availability of a wide variety of newer medications not only allows relief of bothersome symptoms but also has reduced the need for surgery. There are medications to relax the muscles of your prostate to improve the urine stream, block hormones that cause prostatic growth and relax your bladder to improve continence. You and your doctor should jointly determine the best treatment option for you.
BLOOD IN URINE I have blood in my urine (haematuria)? Do I have cancer ? Blood in urine can be microscopic (detected by urine test) or macroscopic (seen by the naked eye). Remember that 70 to 90% of microscopic haematuria is not associated with urological problems. However, macroscopic haematuria can be caused by one of the following urological problems: stones (in kidney, ureter or bladder), infection, injury (to kidney, bladder or urethra), cancer (of kidney, bladder or prostate), and other causes (renal cysts, medical kidney diseases, blood disorders, medications like warfarin). Your doctor will do the following tests to reach to the underlying cause: urine culture, renal ultrasound and CT scan or cystoscopy (looking inside the bladder) as necessary. The treatment will be directed to the cause which is found.
