Hi there.

Thank you for posting your question. I will do my best to help you.

This might be a surface tumor of the lining of your bladder - so called transitional cell carcinoma. It is not lethal but you do need an ultrasound and cystoscopy now.

It may also be coming from your prostate. Either way you need a diagnosis.

I hope that I have answered your questions fully and been of some help. If you have anymore questions please contact me again anytime.

Dr Andrew Rynne.
