Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
* The possibility of recurrent blood in urine indicates urinary, prostate infection or
calculus in the urinary system.
My recommendations at present regarding your questions :
- Heavy objects lifting will not alter outcome of blood in urine, you can do it.
- Prostate medications keep the size of prostate under control, it does not
necessarily tell there is reduction in size.
- Prostate massage does not help in your case unless proven prostatitis.
- Drink plenty of liquids to maintain hydration.
- Consult in follow up with details of current medication, associated symptoms
details as pain, burning, hesitancy, frequency of urination if any.
Thank you.
Regards.

All my tests so far have come back negative. How long can this take before I can see positive results...?? Could this be the sign of possible tumor in the bladder even if it did not show up in any blood work or previous scans???
Thank you
Thank you

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the details.
* Occasional blood in urine may be alteration in urine pH, hydration level or else.
* When there are no other associated symptoms, there is no prediction of positive
results at this point.
* There is no possibility of any bladder tumor without any shown up in any of the
reports.
Still I would like to comment further if all reports can be available to me as an attachment if possible.
Wish you fine health ahead.
