What Causes Blood In Urine?
Question: ok I was diagnosed two years ago with type 2 diabetes. This past February 2017 I was peeing more than normal, so I went in to my doctor. They found microscopic hemituria in my urine. They sent me to a urologist for further investigation because of my age and smoking history. They did another urinalysis with no blood present and did a rectal exam and found my prostrate enlarged but boy remarkable for my age. They then set me up for a CT of my abdomen and pelvic area, cystoscopy, and a PSA, and said it came back all normal. They said it was probably just a fluke thing. That there was no sign of cancer. Now the CTscan was with and without contrast. what all organs would thst show? In my mind i keep thinking they missed something and they said they haven't. I also have bilingual hernias and was wondering if they could make my back hurt? The Doctor also put me on effexor xr for health anxiety. 37.5mg daily. Could that make me tired in the afternoons? Should I trust my doctor and do you agree with what they are telling me? please help me out. In my mind I feel as if I'm dying of something they haven't found.
Brief Answer:
There is no cancer here!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This is not how cancer presents. Cancer would have had other symptoms such as recurrent night fevers, weight loss and persistent fatigue.
The origin of this blood in urine is most likely from the hypertrophied prostate. With the tests done, nothing would have been missed. I understand your concerns but after these tests done, I can conveniently tell you that this is not of any further worries. There is no need to be concerned that it was not done with contrast. I concur with your doctors seen the breadth and depth of their evaluations and findings.
You need a couple of weeks to adapt to wellbutrin. Mark you, your tiredness is related to this and will soon get resolved.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.

I was put on it for health anxiety 5 months go. I'm also on amlodopine, motoporol tartate, and losartan.
Brief Answer:
You really don't have cancer!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have reviewed this added information. For sure you do not have cancer, that am confident of.
For the fatigue, I will like to see your blood pressure closely monitored. I hope the values do not fall unnecessarily during the day thus being responsible for this.
Keep me updated. Be relaxed and not get too worried. This doesn't help with our anxiety.
Let me know if you have any unaddressed worries!!!!

my blood pressure has actually been running high lately. I have been working two jobs. one 62 hours in two weeks and 70 in two weeks.
Brief Answer:
Working hard and long hours might explain why you are tired!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This might explain why you are tired. Your information doesn't point to some other glaring cause for this fatigue. I will suggest that you observe this further and consider getting some rest. If this fails to help, you may need further assessment. However, there is no distinct cause for this fatigue you have reported. In clear terms, all information doesn't support cancer as a cause of your symptoms.
I iwsh you well.
