Blood Clots

[ninorth]

I have had two bladder infections in 2 months. For some reason the doctor never gets the blood clots in the “pee cup”. Last night the er did a catheter OMG THAT SUCKED!!. So what is the deal with blood clots, is that normal for a bladder infection? The doctors are sick of me since I have been sick for almost 6 months and they just think I am faking

dude, get checked for bladder cancer. seriously. i had it when i was 23, and it was just like that. i would pee blood, or blood clots, but by the time i got to the dr. a few hours later, my pee was clean. it turns out those were my tumors forming and occasionally bursting or something. what you need is a cystoscopy--that's where they put a scope into your urethra and look around. it hurts, but that's how they found my 6 tumors. i had surgery a couple of weeks later and they removed them all.

ok i just looked at your journal really quick and saw that you're FTM. if you go to the dr. and ask for a cystoscopy and say you suspect you have bladder cancer (tumors), they will probably look at you crazy like they did to me, because usually the only people who get bladder cancer are men over 65. but push for it, because a lot of young women are getting it now, i don't know why, but it happens, but a lot of drs don't know to check us for it, and they just tell us we have chronic infections...and then it's too late and you have to get the whole shebang taken out and have a bag of pee strapped to your belly for the rest of your life. seriously, get checked.

sleepybeccie is another young woman who had bladder cancer.

I go to the pee dr again in I think I month. Would they see anything in a ct scan? They did one but the dr didn't look at it yet.
