My husband had a prostate biopsy 10 days ago and still has blood in his urine. Anyone know if this is normal?

i would think yes blood is normal, but longer than 10 days, or so, you might want to call, especially if its still bright red. biopsy results can take a few weeks, again, i would call in about 3 weeks if you dont hear anything just to make sure no communication issues have been a problem.\nthese results and bleeding issues are serious issues, i would get an interpreter to call.\nthe best cure for cancer is early detection. dont put off finding out, and dont assume they will call you if its positive, things like this get pushed under the carpet sometimes.

you need to see the doctor...sometimes yes, you will see a little blood when wiping when you have a UTI. But, it could also be symptom of something else. good luck.

Is the blood coming out of the same place as the urine?  Could be a nasty bladder infection, or a kidney infection.  Get to the dr. girlie.

www.mayoclinic.com is a good site, with good information.  Just go to the oncology section or search their site for prostate cancer.  You may also try Web MD.  \n\nIf you prefer, Colin Powell's book on prostate cancer is quite good as is the book by Dr. Patrick Walsh.\n\nYour boyfriend's Urologist probably has a good bit of literature regarding prostate cancer as well.  Often times available for check-out or simple distribution - just ask.  Most of these items are geared more towards the newly diagnosed patient and really help gain an understanding of the process.\n\nAs for the rest of your question - \n\nProstate cancer is an abnormal process of the glandular tissue of the prostate.  It is a very common cancer, and when detected early through PSA testing and exams on a routine basis, very manageable.\n\nEarly on, prostate cancer rarely has any symptoms, which is why  screening is so important.\n\nTreatments are based on a patient's specific presentation, age, stage of cancer and personal preferences. \n\nJust by being concerned and learning more abut the disease, you are being a help to your boyfriend.  Best wishes -

Not to panic....\nthe commonest cause of blood in urine of that degree in young men often is bergers disease also known as exercise-induced hematuria. Mostly benign, but the important thing is to have other problems ruled out, like kidney stones (unlikely since you had no pain), or inflammation of the kidney (glomerulonephritis)....so yes, it is a trip to the doctors without delay, and get your blood pressure checked asap.\n\nClark

If you have had kidney stones, then that is what is probably causing this hematuria (blood in urine). Some other causes include:\n\nTrauma\nUrinary Tract Infections\nGlomerulonephritis\nNeoplasms esp., Renal Cell Carcinoma\nIgA Nephropathy\nHereditary Nephritis\nCoagulopathy\nCertain drugs can cause hematuria secondary to the papillary necrosis of the kidneys, eg, Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Agents- aspirin, ibuprofen etc\n\nWhatever the case may be, it is undoubtedly essential for you to go and see your doc immediately. He will do the necessary tests to rule out any serious pathology. Better to be safe than sorry! Besides you need to take treatment, for whatever is causing the hematuria... delaying this wont help you in any way.

You are justified in your worry.  This could mean many things.  Things that only test (blood, uring and ultrasound) can determined.  It is important not to leave this too long, because whatever is happening could leave permanent damage on your kidneys.  Please see a doctor soon. Good luck.\n\nP.S. Don't stop drinking, that could make it worse...

Go see a doctor and ask what could be causing this. Maybe give him a urin sample. Even though you are healthy it would be better to find out if something is causing this. Better safe than sorry.

Perhaps you mastu_rbate too much, but that still wouldn't explain it. It might be a prostate problem, that lets your urine mix with your semen. I suggest you consult a doctor if the problem persists.

This most commonly represents blood in the semen.  Irritation or infection is thought to be the cause  - but causes are rarely discovered.  Get evaluated by an MD, consider seeing a Urologist.  Perisistence for 6 months deserves a thourough workup (by a Urologist).  Blood in the urine needs an evaluation straight away.  If you are a smoker you are at increased risk for Urologic cancers among other things.  The safest thing to do is to be evaluated to have you particualr situation fully assesed (talking to a doc and having an exam maybe a test or two of the urne) and go from there.  The vast majority fo cases of blood in the semen are benign and resolve on their own so don't be too worried.

Dear Worried About Protein In Urine,\n\nYou didn?t ask too many questions, besides you wouldn?t ask if it wasn?t important. If you looked at TeenHealthFX?s response to Low level Of Protein In Urine you?d realize that low levels of protein in the urine is not uncommon and need not be cause for alarm. Your doctor may even have explained this to you and would have ordered additional tests if he/she was concerned. Since this situation seems to being giving you a great deal of worry maybe you should go back to your pediatrician or primary care physician and ask the questions that are bothering you. You may want to get your parents involved, they most likely would be glad to provide you with emotional support and guidance if you need it. If you are still worried, ask your doctor to refer you to a nephrologist, which is a doctor who specializes in this disorder. Before going, make a list of your concerns and ask the questions during the exam. The more information you have the less you?ll worry.\n\nProteinuria (protein in the urine) may be a sign of important kidney disease in some people. However, sometimes the proteinuria is associated with a viral infection and resolves within a few weeks (transient proteinuria). This is generally speaking not a problem. In otherwise well teenagers, we often find that the proteinuria is "postural". That means the proteinuria disappear after a period of lying flat. This is also not associated with serious kidney disease. The urine should be checked again first thing in the morning, just upon awakening. If protein is detected, further investigations should be performed.\n\nAnother cause of an elevated protein level can come from a diet that has an abnormally high amount of protein. The most common culprit would be the protein supplements some athletes take in order to build strength. TeenHealthFX cautions against the use of these products because a large quantity of protein can overwhelm the kidneys. Besides, you can get all the protein you need from a well balanced diet without the risk.\n\nIf you would like to meet with a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center For Health at 973.889.6350 for an appointment.\n\nSigned: TeenHealthFX

Is your ureter narrowing or blocked again?  Strictures or inflamation in the ureter, due to a kidney stone even, could cause the blood in the urine.  You mentioned you're having a cysto in a week; I wouldn't wait.  Call your doctor now and let him/her know what's going on.  Or, if the blood in your urine increases or you have pain just go directly to the nearest Emergency Room.  At least you'll be treated sooner than later.
