Hello, My mum who is 70 has been experiencing blood in her urine, she also has had one episode of passing a blood streak, she has slight stinging on the tip of her uretha. We are extremely scared that this is bladder cancer . Please could you help. Many many thanks.
Passing blood in urine (hematuria) can be due to many causes: infections, stones, tumor etc. She needs medical attention. A Urine RE (routine examination), an ultrasound scan to image the urinary tract and plain abdominal radiograph for PUB (urinary tract) would help to determine cause of bleeding. Please discuss it with your doctor.
