I have had two urine samples recently which show a small amount of blood, nothing you can see without lab work. After a recent hip operation I had urinary frequency but that has since gone away. I was on aspirin and Aleve and for over a month. I continue with Aleve for arthritis and have been using it for several years and wonder if that could be causing the blood?

No other symptoms. My urologist will be doing a cystoscopy and I was wondering if that is painful? Now am worried about bladder cancer.

Hi, I’m new to the group and new to bladder cancer, having been diagnosed about two weeks ago.I had a cystoscopy and it didn’t hurt at all. (If you’re a woman, think pelvic exam.) Be happy you’ve had urine sampled, earlier detection is always better. I hope you are well. Take what I’ve said above as my best thoughts, the learning curve is steep and I am still near the bottom.
