Dear Madam,
From your description it appears that you are suffering from UTI and need treatment for the same.
As you seem to be having recurring UTIs, you would need a urine culture and antibiotic sensitivity test and antibiotics which are found sensitive should be started.
You also need to get your sugars tested to check for Diabetes as recurrent UTIs are common in Diabetes.
You do not need to worry about cancer of the bladder. This is highly unlikely.
You need to get ultrasound KUB (Kidney, Ureters, Bladder) done and in the meantime you take plenty of fluids including cranberry juice.
Feel free to discuss further.
Take care.
Sincerely,
Dr Rajiv Goel,

Patient replied :
Thank you, I was just worried because I have just had 2 courses of antibiotics and my urine is still showing blood and WBC's, is that just because they are not working ? There are no nitrates, and the after the last bout of a UTI I had a cultur test done and it come back normal. I had a begnin parathyroid tumor removed in december and before that i had high levels if calcuim in my blood, could this be related, maybe kidney stones ? I will ask for a scan, but if bladder cancer is unlikely I will stop worring. Thank you
Hello.
The possibilty of stone disease is high especially considering past history. You should stop worrying about cancer and stay reassured.
Take care,
Regards.
