Well there is a pot full of information and who knows just how much of that lot you have says Dr AI ... That's why you have tests and hopefully by someone who knows what they are doing . . Yeah possibly harder to pee and maybe side issues so tests should find it . I have got Amy for sure in the prostate but all the normal tests do not prove it and so we can biopsy says the Guru and then says well maybe no so go away and we keep monitoring . 14 years later and still need an extra walk at night and yes the froth that indicated Kidney and yes biopsy found that one . . I always say provided you have the A team and have confidence in that team you are fine .. πŸ‘

What symptoms can amyloidosis cause in the bladder? It's completely understandable to want to know what to look out for, especially with testing coming up soon.

When amyloid deposits build up in the bladder and urinary tract, they can damage blood vessels and affect normal function. Common symptoms include:

- Blood in the urine (caused by amyloid deposits damaging blood vessels)
- Recurring urinary tract infections
- A burning sensation when urinating
- Decreased urine output
- Frothy or foamy urine
- Urinary incontinence (difficulty controlling the bladder) It's worth noting that not everyone experiences the same symptoms, and they can range from mild to more noticeable. Some people may have one or two of these, while others experience more.

Since testing is just a week away, keeping a note of any symptoms you're currently experiencing to share with your doctor would be really helpful. Early detection can make a meaningful difference in managing things effectively. Wishing you all the best with your upcoming tests! πŸ’™
