Blood In Urine Due To Prostate Infection. Perforated Kidney. Chances Of Bladder Cancer?

I have just seen a uroligist for blood in my urine. I have been under a doctors care who said I had a prostate infection. I have been on antibiotics for 6 mo. I had kidney stones about 5 or 6 yrs. ago, I passed one but the doc then said my kidneys looked like they have been shot with no. 8 bird shot. could this be my kidney stones acting up again or possible bladder cancer which kinda matches up with my symptons?

Hi and thanks so much for the query.
I feel humbled being offered the opportunity to counsel on your health worries.
I am so sorry to hear about the blood in your urine.

Urine is produced in the kidneys and it flows through the ureters, get stored in the bladder and finally through the different parts of the urethral including the prostatic portion.

Blood in urine can come from any of these organs. Kidneys/ureter/bladder/prostate/urethra etc. It is very non specific in localising the exact problem but at good telling us to dig further and get answers.

We need to characterise this blood in urine...Quantity...all urine? Look for other urinary symptoms, abdominal pains etc before narrowing the list of options. Also, your age is going to be of great help.

For now, it can be any of the above but until you get evaluated by your urologist, we shall continue to list even more. Please, you need a proper consultation and investigations to give you the exact answer.

Hope this helps.
Wish you good health.
