Benign tumors are noncancerous. Most are asymptomatic, are discovered incidentally, and are not immediately life threatening. \n\nTypes include Renal adenomas, Renal Oncocytoma, Angiomyolipoma, Fibroma, Lipoma, which are ALL benign, or, of course, Renal Carcinoma.  You can read about each of these tumors at:  http://www.urologychannel.com/kidneycancer/benign.shtml\n\nRemember to be diligent about your follow up care.  Do the tests your doctors request and keep keep the lines of communication open with your health care providers.

Sweetie, I'm not a doctor but blood in your urine is not a good thing and you are not quailified to analyze your own urine or symptoms. If your Doctor said to see a Urologist, then do it. Now, I do have some medical training and experience and blood in the urine doesn't usually mean a death sentance. It's a precaution your Doctor is taking to rule out a possible serious disorder. Do you really want to take a chance and not look into it? Are you going to stay healthy on heresay? It could be something as simple as an infection whether you have symptoms or not. It's best to find out asap so that it doesn't turn into something serious. Until you get a Medical degree, I wouldn't be second guessing my Doctor. There is nothing to be afraid of. You seem a little prone to denial as well. Would rather have an answer or wait for the problem to get so bad that you need a kidney or something? Get your butt to that Urologist now, Honey. Don't make me come there and put you in time out! Good luck, and please try not to get all upset till you have something to get upset about.

pregnancy could be the cause or faulty nutrition \n \na good website with some other possibiltites is http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/sym/abdominal_mass.htm\n\nlet me no if this helps, i hope it does\n\nWhen a kidney is enlarged, one has to determine whether the kidney tissue itself (what makes the urine) is larger than normal, or whether the collecting system, that which collects the urine and transports it to the bladder, is larger than normal. Usually, enlargement refers to the collecting system and in a very crude sense means that the "plumbing" is distended or larger than normal. \n\nThis can be due to many causes. The greatest concern is whether the dilation is due to a partial obstruction in the drainage system. Another cause can be backflow of the urine from the bladder to the kidney, called reflux. Other causes can be abnormal bladder function such as infrequent voiding patterns or excessive voiding related to an overactive bladder. Often, however, the dilation can be normal, indicating that there is no abnormality and the child simply has large "pipes" so to speak. X-ray tests can help differentiate between these different possibilities.

It may be muscular or it could be a kidney. If the pains are severe see a Doctor.

It may be a bartholin cyst, which is a harmless build up of fluid caused by a blockage. If it becomes painful and heaps bigger in a short amount of time, it might be infected so go to the doctor's straight away. If it doesn't do anything, you can leave it or go get it drained (ew, I know).\nIt might also be a trapped hair , causing a bump around it?\nGood luck mate.

Joe, you may have a urinary tract infection, or you may be passing stones. I think there is a couple more things it could be as well. I would suggest you see a doctor very soon. In the mean time, try to drink more water. Cranberry juice is also supposed to be very good at flushing out your kidneys. Avoid drinks with caffeine or a lot of added sugar.\n\nThis is the best advice I know to give you at this time. I hope it helps.\n\nSincerely,\nTerry

It may be scar tissue that has formed there. I would demand that the doctor due an ultrasound or whatever it took to figure this out.You are your best advocate.

If you're not just kidding, you should see a doctor to have the growth removed and biopsied to rule out cancer, and to rid yourself of it.  The size must cause it to get in the way of your clothes.  It could have to do with a fungal infection, or hopefully is something benign.  Good luck.

You are justified in your worry.  This could mean many things.  Things that only test (blood, uring and ultrasound) can determined.  It is important not to leave this too long, because whatever is happening could leave permanent damage on your kidneys.  Please see a doctor soon. Good luck.\n\nP.S. Don't stop drinking, that could make it worse...

Sally, what you are describing is a symptom of diabetes.  has it always been so often it is also possible that your blader just isn't that large.  If your concerned that it is a medical problem such as diabetis or a kidney problem then set up an appointment with your GP and get tested.hopefully it is nothing but better safe than sorry.  Especially where your life is concerned!
