Bladder cancer: hematuria is #1 sign
(blood in the urine); frequent urination,
or pain with urination although all 3 of
these could be signs of many things,
including a simple bladder infection.
Prostate cancer: difficulty
urinating/starting stream, dribbling
stream, straining to urinate, inability to
empty the bladder, needing to go to the
bathroom at night, or of course, an
elevated routine psa measurement. These
can all be signs of the more common
condition benign prostatic hyperplasia
(bph) as well. Why do you ask?

Symptoms of Bladder/prostate Cancer Posted: 11-23-05 18:00pm
I asked because I was experiencing some of
the symptons you mentioned. Clap was
ruled out after urine analysis and
antibiotics were not effective for a
complete recovery. Seems to be normal
now after drinking some type of antibiotic
(name eludes me) beginning with "z".

It's almost assuredly just an infection,
likely bladder infection; bladder cancer
is pretty rare. You may need a workup by
a urologist to determine if you have
kidney/bladder stones contributing to the
infection, as urinary tract infections
(utis) in men are not nearly as common as
for women, and often related to stone
formation. Stones also have a similar
presentation to infection/cancer--blood in
the urine, pain with urinating, frequency,
etc. However, if you are cured with the
antibiotic, save yourself the time, but
strongly consider it if the problem
recurs. The antibiotic was probably a
fluoroquinolone--broad spectrum against
all the common bugs that cause utis.

I thank you for your replies to my inquiry
and my bladder and urethra also appreciate
your thoughtfulness and concern. Have a
great thanksgiving holiday. I have never
tried cranberry juice but I may just do
that tomorrow. I've heard it cures what
ails your fluid conduit.
