Does blood in pee mean cancer or prostate issues?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand your concern. The treatment and the survival rate are based on the type of organ and stage of the tumor. Get serum PSA (prostate-specific antigen) and an ultrasound abdomen to know the organ involved. A CT (computed tomography) scan is required for proper staging.

I get blood in urine in a Foley's catheter placed for urinary retention. Why?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Coming to your query, I will answer your questions step by step. For your doubt, could the tip of the catheter be grating against the bladder wall and causing bleeding? Yes, but the chances are minute, and the amount of blood is also less. You can say sometimes clots can appear occasionally, but significant amounts like urine coming in a bag mixed with blood (red urine) is quite rare. It is a known but uncommon problem.

Can long-term Foley catheter use weaken my bladder?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Coming back to your query, you need to answer some of my questions first. When the catheter was put how much urine came in the first 15 minutes (did your bag get filled fully, half or what)? Were you on a floral Finastride combination before you were put on a catheter? For what reason you were catheterized? Was it retention of urine? Any abdominal ultrasound done till date which mentions prostate size? Do you have any urinary complaints like frequency, urgency, poor stream, nocturia, dribbling, burning, or micturition before catheter was placed and how long you were having them if any? Is your diabetic status under control? Any HbA1c report? I hope it helps. Thank you..

Does a new penile curvature indicate Peyronie's disease?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. A new curvature is not always Peyronie's disease. It can be unrelated, minor, and non-progressive. But since Peyronie disease (PD) often starts subtly, keeping an eye on progression and getting checked if anything changes is the safest approach.
