When they did the cystoscopy, did they do a cytology exam of the cells from the washings?
What did that show?

Hi, I was not told much. I only have a copy of what the urologist told my family dr. in a letter, after the bleeding had stopped, that he couldn't see anything that would have causes the bleeding, all looked normal... he said I had mentioned taking more aspirin that usual re migraines.... i have photos of some containers with the red urine in and it is ruby red then lighter, then darker, but 5 weeks... i am not very pushy but should have just gone to emerge and sat there til someone did something maybe. I happened to be in a Toronto hospital duirng the 5 weeks having my yearly eye check, vitreous. and i told the ophthalmologist, he gave me a note to go right to see the uroglogist in the hospital but the secretary said as i had an appointment where i live in several weeks she would not accept..... how many times have secretaries/front office staff made these decisions? So as I said by time i saw one locally, no bleeding and i dont think he did any tests.... now wondering if could have come from kidneys but so many other body parts going haywire these days, i cannot keep up - did have some bleeding a few years ago but not as bad and, again, saw another urologist and he basically said cystitis ..... maybe from radiation years ago....
however, if it happens again i will ask more questions, thank you. ps i would put up some pics but kind of gross to look at!
