Multiple testing would be of concern to anyone, trying to find the cause. Having a urologist check the bladder is a good decision. If he does the cysto, it's quite simple, but annoying. My 1st visit was scheduled after severe bleeding. By the time I got there, the blood was only microscopic, not visible. Did turn out to be BC. Not a welcome diagnosis, but at least you know. Multiple TURBTS followed by BCG got me to 12 months being cancer free. Will continue scopes and hope it stays that way. Good luck on your testings.

As everyone else has said, you are doing the right thing seeing a URO. Obviously, you want to find out what is causing the blood to appear and cystoscope can answer most of your questions about the bladder. It is possible they may schedule a CT scan if the bladder is clear to check the rest of the urinary tract, could be kidney stones etc. As has been posted also, sometimes we know people that pass blood with no known reason.
