Hematuria (Blood in Urine)
Hematuria refers to the presence of blood in the urine. It can be visible (gross hematuria), where the urine appears red or brown, or microscopic hematuria, where blood is only detected under a microscope. While it is not always a serious condition, it should never be ignored, as it can indicate underlying health issues.
Causes of Hematuria
• Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) – Infections in the bladder or kidneys can cause bleeding.
• Kidney Stones – Sharp-edged stones can damage the urinary tract, leading to blood in the urine.
• Bladder or Kidney Infections – Bacterial infections can inflame the urinary tract, resulting in hematuria.
• Enlarged Prostate (BPH) – In men, an enlarged prostate can press against the bladder, causing blood in urine.
• Vigorous Exercise – Intense physical activity can lead to temporary blood leakage in urine.
• Blood Disorders – Conditions like hemophilia or sickle cell anemia can cause bleeding in the urinary tract.
• Kidney Disease – Glomerulonephritis and other kidney conditions may lead to hematuria.
• Cancer – Bladder, kidney, or prostate cancer can sometimes cause blood in the urine.
Symptoms Associated with Hematuria
• Pink, red, or brown-colored urine.
• Pain or burning sensation while urinating.
• Frequent urge to urinate.
• Lower abdominal or back pain.
• Cloudy or foul-smelling urine (if caused by infection).
