Stones?
Re:
"since I no longer have a colon "
My Colon is disconnected (I have an ileostomy), if you also have an ileo.....
or actually with or without shouldn't make a difference.... There is a continual
problem with dehydration due to the lack of an ileocecal valve that is usually
taken out for a major resection of the colon.
Getting dehydrated causes kidney stones to form, and that in turn
will cause bleeding as they move through the canals.
Some of us manage to pass sand, rather than whole stones, but
the bleeding starts earlier than the pain, either way.
I'm not too sure if any of that pertains to you, but it had me in a
panic until I figured it out...0 -

So sorry
I'm so sorry you are dealing with a new question. There always seems to be something else. I cannot answer your questions, unfortunately, but I want to second the motion of doing something unspeakable to the urologist for doing that while you were awake!
Hugs,

Prayers are still going your
Prayers are still going your way! I also can't add to what the others have said, but really... doesn't it make you wonder if physicians could go through what they put their patients through that they'd be a little more compassionate? Not saying he isn't, but maybe if he was probed like you were, he would have waited until you were "out"??? Just sayin'...0 -

Personally I have experienced a colonoscopy that made me aware that there are probably physicians who are into inflicting pain for their own perverse jollys, as in being a sadomasicist. There is something wrong with a urologist who inflicts that kind of pain. It is NOT right.0 -

Patti!! why did he do that procedure awake???? I would have demanded him put me to sleep! poor little pat!
I have never experienced any blood in my urine, but just wanted to let you know that we're here for you, and it's ok to be alittle scared, don't dwell on it now, make sure you really know what it is before you work yourself all up also, you never know, it could be something really simple! I wish I was there to hug ya! You'll be in my prayers, and hope everything works out ok!
Hugsss!

HE ALSO WENT UP THE URETER,AND REMOVED A STENT.
I HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THAT ,IT WAS KIDNEY STONES.
YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS.0 -
Pat, I used to have bladder
Pat, I used to have bladder infections all the time and would bleed (but no clots). Keflex was the best med for me.
Hubby has an atrophied neurogenic bladder and has had to catherize himself now for over 20 years. He does it about 5 times a day. The nerves are dead in his bladder so when he gets an infection, we don't know it until it's spread to his kidneys. He will feel like he has the flu and have a high fever and back ache.
Hope nothing serious is going on! Let us know! Maybe it's just a bad infection.0 -
So sorry you have to go through more crap
I work for a urologist and your procedure sounds like a cystoscopy. We do it in the office while people are awake and just like any other procedure (filling at the dentist, colonoscopy, wart removal) some people don't notice anything and some people feel everything. Did your urologist do a urine cytology test? The doc I work for usually orders that (3 times in a row) when people have blood in their urine. The lab test the urine for abnormalities in the actual cells of the urine, not just infection. You were smart to go (so many people don't) and be thankful they didn't find a tumor. Drink lots of fluids, cut back on coffee and soda. Sending positive thoughts and prayers your biopsy comes bck normal.0
