Guys I'm freaking out. I'm 25 years old. I've had urinary problems for years. In June I developed bad symptoms with my kidneys and stuff.. blood in the urine so I had an ultrasound and they found what they think are stones. Anyways in september I started getting this pain in my bladder that comes and goes.. it's been getting worse as time goes on. It hurts when I urinate most of the time.There is usually a trace amount of blood in my urine as well, but haven't had any visible since July. I was supposed to have a CT scan but I freaked out last minute and postponed it for 3 weeks from now. I know that was stupid of me, but I'm just so worried. I had a urine cytology and that was negative, but that's not good for detecting lower grade bladder cancer and its not that great for mid grade cancer. I'm really worried I have bladder cancer. Is it possible it's just the stones? Can someone tell me what they think? I'm panicking!

Breathe in thru your nose, and out thru your mouth. In. Out. In. Out. calm down.
calm down.
i see you are freaking out, i know what your going thru. i am a medical professional and i want to help you, but you need to chill out. i know you have lots of questions, but deep breaths. this is nothing you did, these conditions and diseases and issues just happen to thousands of people all over the world of all ages. so take another deep breath. you are not alone, and thousands of other people make it thru just fine. i understand you are scared, and that's okay. no problem. i want to help you. A lot of times when people develop urinary system problems at a young age, the urethra, ureters, and bladder, kidneys have stenosis, and also sensitivities to certain elements. Each organ and tissue that i just mentioned has a specific job. when there is too much keratin, or stone material or whatever, this can sometimes impair the fuction of the tissues and organs. So, one thing that needs to be addressed is the (oh shoot, i am in the wrong spot- oh well, you can figure it out) painful urination. Sometimes due to multiple urinary problems over a period of time the urethra can become narrowed, and it is very easy to fix this. however, the urethra and urinary system are very sensitive, like a jellyfish. very delicate and light. so, when having a cystoscopy or pyleograde or whatever, the lining of these areas espeically penis and vagina entry's get irritated. it takes time for these to heal. sometimes when you pee, if indeed you do have stones, you may be peeing out itsy bitsy stones that you cannot see, but feel pain. Urine cytology. Hmm. You should see if a urine specific gravity test was part of that. Also, get checked for urine calculus. Good luck my friend, and let me know. fastfakts@yahoo.com
Okay. Read carefully. There is a difference between stones and cancer. Bladder cancer and kidney stones are like cousins under the same tribe. Both conditions are treatable. First, don't always think the worst.

Don't panic yet! My grandfather has kidney stones really bad, and he has had all the same symptoms as you. There is always pain and blood with kidney stones. Go to the Dr. and quit putting if off because kidney stones can get worse, which means your pain and your blood in the urine will get worse. Go get it taken care of. Most likely that is all it is.

It is statistically very unlikely to see bladder cancer at your young age. These can occur in some individuals your age with chronic indwelling catheters that are a chronic source of irritation to the bladder. The symptoms you describe can certainly be compatible with kidney stones which are much more likely at your age. Having said that you should get the CT scan to confirm that this is the case and to rule out other conditions.

I think that the Ultrasound technicians know what they are looking for when they look at an ultrasound. They probably know what the differances in appearance of bladder cancer and kidney stones are and are pretty good at diagnosing them. If they had thought that you have had bladder cancer, you probably would have been into exploratory surgery that very day for a biopsy. Try to relax. Getting worked up isn't good for you...good luck and God bless.

You are way too young for bladder cancer. Stones are a good idea, but - unless you are female - I'd bet on chronic prostatitis.
Relax, don't worry about cancer! Really!

Stones in the bladder are very, very painful indeed and they cause blood. So yes, I'd say it is stones. Bladder cancer doesn't usually cause pain.

i like all your techniques different than the reminiscence e book. She would think of she is terminal and you're merely attempting to hasten her dying. Be upbeat. Ask her how she is feeling? Pray along with her. Do issues for her so she doesnt exert a large variety of power. in my opinion, i think of her hazard is large fairly for the reason that they arent attempting to get her into surgical treatment quicky, If it exchange into authentic undesirable, they might have already had her in surgical treatment.

Geez that does not sound good. I'd be going straight to the doc if i was you! You need to get an appointment for your c.t scan earlier then 3 weeks cause if they do find anything (i hope they don't) they can start curing it start away. Don't wait. I hope you'll be ok.

You are freaking for no reason. Reschedule your test for sooner just to ease your mind. Better to get results and get the treatment now.. no matter what it is.
A friend of mine shits blood quite often.. colon cancer? no.. been tested many times. MANY TIMES.
there are a ton of different reasons this could happen.. take a chill and get to your test!
