Help please.... I have no idea what this is

[MuL23]

Hello....I'm Dev and I've been peeing blood lately and it worries me because I feel no pain at all anywhere and when I do pee blood it feels like something is blocking the pathway so I have to push a little.I've been to the doctor for an ultrasound where nothing was wrong with my kidneys or bladder and my prostate is normal. They also did a blood test and found nothing....so now I'm waiting to go to a urologist. Has this happened to anyone else? Or does anyone have maybe a vague diagnosis or something lol

Hi Dev. Hematuria is quite a common symptom, which can depend on a variety of conditions. It must be investigated well. So you did well to go to your doctor. US of kidney and bladder is negative. Very good. Have you had a transrectal US examination of your prostate? It has a much more powerful diagnostic power than transabdominal US scan of the prostate. Other examination your urologist is likely to propose you are a urine analysis, a cytologic analysis of urine and a cystoscopy. Don't panic for a cystoscopy: the urologist will slowly and gently insert a probe (cystoscope) through your urethra up to your bladder, with a bit of anhaestetic cream. I have undergone this examination. It is not painful, just a little bit discomfortable. The modern cystoscopes are flexible, so they adapt to your anatomy while they enter your urinary ways. If the urologist advice you to undergo a cystoscopy, be courageous and go. Probably the urologist will give you a single dose of antibiotic just to prevent the rare possibility of an infection of your bladder caused by the cystoscopy. I have done it twice, one with and one without antibiotic treatment. After the cystoscopy you I advice you just half a day of rest.

Let me know.

I'm Nick from Italy

Nick, not wanting to frighten anyone but my experience of cystoscopy was not pleasant and quite painful to be honest. It was a flexible scope also. Bearable until it got to the prostate .... then 😫

Hi. I'm not saying cystoscopy is pleasant. I would rather eat an ice-cream (Italian way of saying). But...the first time I was terrified, I couldn't even pee before the cystoscopy due to the anxiety. Then, all was much less unpleasant than I had imagined. Just a little burning sensation at the meatus of the urethra, and then a discomfortable sensation inside my urinary ways. No pain when the scope was passing through my prostate. And it was inflammed. So the second time I went to the cystoscopy much more relaxed and it was even less discomfortable. These have been my experiences. Maybe the urologist was quite gentle and capable, I don't know. I'm sincere. Probably better then gastroscopy or coloscopy (I have experienced both). I think there is ALSO a psychological bias. We men are very sensitive to what can happen to our penis, and the idea to be "penetrated" through him is quite unbearable.
