For this test to be done properly, follow these instructions:

Stress and anxiety can also cause this problem. If you are experiencing this or if the bed wetting persists, contact our experienced doctors for treatment.

Bladder cancer usually affects older adults. Blood in urine is the most common symptom. If you are experiencing this, frequent urination or dark urine, it's important that you contact a professional.

A kidney stone is a hard deposit of minerals and other substances that sticks together in urine.
