Hello all,
Found this site whilst googling information on Bladder cancer.
I'm worried sick. And stressed right out about it.
I've had UTI like symptoms for around 15 years now. Usually burning, urgency, frequency, feels like not emptying my bladder.
I have had 2 Cyroscopy, one in 2007,...and one in 2019. Nothing was found, and I've still had UTI's on going since.
I had a Ultrasound scan in March 2022 as my bladder was really bad then. And worried myself sick then too. But that was all clear, and they said I have a healthy looking bladder and kidneys.
I was diagnosed with an Overactive Bladder back in 2007.
I'm a 36 year old man. My bladder has recently been playing up again, but this time the burning sensation and pain at the tip is worst. And hasn't cleared up with the usual antibiotics. It now been 5-6weeks since the initial symptoms. I've been sending messages to my doctors and they keep fobbing me off. I've done loads of urine tests and nothing has ever been picked up.
Even went to A&e few weeks Becusse the burning was horrible, and was hunched over weeing tiny amounts In the toilet. When I got there, got seen by a doctor, they said drink water and sent me home.
I've convinced myself I have bladder cancer. I've never smoked. Don't even drink anymore as irrates my bladder too much.
Please send positive thoughts.
