Hi my dad is 68 years old he has been passing blood in urine and they have found something in bladder or prospate on a scan. He had a prospate operation a year ago and the shaved a large amount of prospate away he was very poorly for couple months after this operation but they tested it and was no cancerous now he has this blood in urine and something come up on scan and is very worried would this be serious?
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. There is a possibility of cancer but this isn't the first thing to think of. Most common causes of blood in urine is infection and kidney stones, so he should rule out this first. Also, he should check PSA levels and do prostate ultrasounds. Prostate cancer has relatively good prognosis and even if this is cancer this is probably respectable and will leave no consequences. Wish you good health.
