Bladder distention?

Question:

I had found microscopic blood in my urine by urinalysis now, after a CT it shows that I have a distended bladder and lesions on my ovaries. Would a distended bladder cause microscopic blood in urine? Would lesions on ovaries cause the blood? I am to have a cystoscopy on the 3 of aug. and not sure if it is worth it. There is a hx of bladder cancer in my fam. but from the CT the only showing is the distention and the lesions. I have read that distention would cause blood vessels to open which would lead to blood. Should I be alarmed of this information or just keep an eye on it and not to worry? PLEASE I AM EXTREMELY WORRIED ABOUT THIS DUE TO BEING A YOUNG MOTHER. NO STUPID OR INSENSITIVE ANSWERS (you would expect the same if the situation was yours) PLEASE. Thank you so much.

Answers:
If your doctor recommended a cysto, do it! Especially since you have a family hx of bladder cancer! It sounds like you've studied up on this...you need to find the cause of the distention. Don't rely on the CT alone, they don't show cancerous lesions until they are much larger and become tumors. If I were in your situation, I would definately do it.
