Zusammenfassung:Two cases treated by intravesical instillation of Maalox for bladder hemorrhage are reported. A 79-year-old man and an 81-year-old man were admitted because of macroscopic hematuria and bladder tamponade. In both cases, bladder hemorrhage caused by bladder invasion of prostate cancer had not improved after bladder lavage, intravenous drip infusion and medication of hemostatics. In the first case, bladder hemorrhage had decreased 4 days after the intravesical instillation of 50-100 ml Maalox for an hour per day. In the second case, irrigation of Maalox was performed because of the difficulty of intravesical instillation of Maalox due to irritable bladder. The bladder hemorrhage had not completely disappeared but improved 5 days after the bladder irrigation of 100 ml of Maalox with 100 ml of 0.9% NaCl for an hour per day. This method is easy and can be performed without complications. This method might be useful as first-line therapy in the case of severe bladder hemorrhage
