Thanks for tuning in to the Armor Men’s Health Hour Podcast today, where we bring you the latest and greatest in urology care and the best urology humor out there.In this segment, Donna Lee is joined by NAU Urology Specialist's own Dr. Lucas Jacomides. Today, Dr. Jacomides explains the warning signs of bladder cancer. Blood in the urine should be treated as an alarming symptom and its cause identified. While it could be something like an infection or kidney stone, it could also be an indication of something much worse. Smokers or those exposed to cigarette smoke are at a higher risk of developing bladder cancer. If your doctor suspects you might be at risk for bladder cancer, a simple CT Scan can help them determine whether further testing, such as a cystoscopy, is necessary. When a tumor is found, it must be removed and examined under a microscope to determine how advanced the cancer is. If you or someone you love have recently seen or are currently seeing blood in your urine, with or without accompanying pain, please give us a call today! And if you've recently been diagnosed with bladder cancer, you can also check out a helpful book written by one of Dr. Jacomides' former patients, "For Bladder or Worse," by Gene Vasconi (2013).
