Prostate cancer with hematuria (blood in urine): How to make it stop?

Hi, @prostatecancer123. My bladder and prostate deficiencies involve incidents of hematuria once or twice a year. The blood comes in two forms: 1) A pea-size blood clot on one or two days and 2) pale red blood in my urine for a couple of days. My urologists have advised me not to regard that hematuria as serious unless the blood is "gross" or "frank" (as though not diluted by urine). Mine has been that way for 10 years or more, so I report it to my urologist at my annual exam and receive reassurance that it remains tolerable. You didn't detail the nature of your hematuria, so you might want to talk with your urologist about that and ask for guidance on what steps to take when blood appears in your urine. Martin

Thanks for your response, Mr. Jensen. My blood comes in several forms, with my best ability to describe it: 1) A flake size in clear urine, 2) pale red blood that is diluted by urine, 3) pulp form of clot blood not being diluted by urine, and 4) dark red blood mixed with my urine that looks like the color of coke soda. And of course, there is always microscopic form that I could not see with my naked eyes except using a urine test strip. They come once then gone for days or couple weeks. However, it appears more often lately. When the hematuria first started in last October, a CT scan with and without contract was performed on my abdomen. Results were normal with the exception of a kidney stone at an un-obstructing location. Also, I have no pain in my back or side part of my body. So, the urologist concluded that the hematuria is not caused by kidney stone but concluded that the capillary bleeding could be caused by LDR brachy therapy. He also did a KUB and saw the kidney stone is small ~3mm. A six-month following up was recommended.
