Hematuria

Hi Larry - Scary, these hematurias. Got out of the hospital Sept. 3, 2009 having been treated for my second hematuria in a year. I was fitted with a Foley, of course, and attached to these big bags of Saline solution to flush out the hematuria with clots of course. Took about three days to clear then was given a cystoscopy and sent home the next day. Urine is clear as a bell and hopefully will stay that way. I’m 82 with a history of prostate enlargement, can’t escape that. Have an appt. to see my urologist and he’ll tell me what, why and wherefore. It’s frightening to wonder that when you urinate if it’ll be urine or blood.
So, Larry, stay well and hope for the best. SL
