Calling #medtwitter. Aside from potential UTI and cancer, what else triggers microhematuria? Viral infection? We know that polyoma BK is linked to hemorrhagic cystitis. Do they screen for viral infections in younger patients? HPV?

The lack of open public toilets has been really hard for the #IBD community. Here is a really good post about how it’s effecting those with an #ostomy.
I’ve seen quite a lot of posts recently about the lack of open public toilets due to COVID-19. I even got caught with a rapidly filling ostomy bag myself whilst in the queue for the supermarket! Fortunately for me, it stopped before becoming unmanageable… instagr.am/p/CCnyD12D1xV/

“Because the body’s nerves are constantly firing they never get a rest, so when they get triggered by “smaller” things, they will hurt more than a “regular” person.” Please Don't Confuse My #ChronicPain With 'Low Pain Tolerance' buff.ly/305CB5f #intractablepain #cpp

Replying to @BladderHealthUK
Mmmmm...not correct. Many patients with IC have pain free hours, days or weeks and then their symptoms suddenly flare into pain that can be short or long term. The key point here is when is their pain the worst? Before or after urination?
