Any form of bleeding in the urinary tract can cause a clot to form. This clot can occlude the normal flow of urine and subsequently results in bladder distention and extreme discomfort to the patient. This is often caused by radiation therapy for cancer.
A clot has formed somewhere in the urinary tract and needs to be removed to resume the normal flow of urine. The procedure will include a cystoscopy to locate the clot and vessels that are bleeding. Fulguration will be utilized to stop the bleeding vessels and suction is employed to pull the clot out of the urinary tract.
