It can be alarming to see blood in your urine. Before thinking about how you can address it, the best step is for you to consult your doctor.
Hematuria or blood in urine happens as the kidney or other parts of the urinary tract leak blood cells into the urine. The leak can be caused by kidney infections or pyelonephritis. The bacteria enters the kidneys from the bloodstream. Kidney infection can cause fever and flank pain.
Bladder or kidney stone can cause gross and microscopic bleeding as it tears away blood cells while traversing through the urinary tract. An enlarged prostate compresses the urethra, partially blocking urine flow. This can lead to difficulty urinating, persistent need to urinate, and either visible or microscopic blood in the urine. Inherited disorders such as sickle cell anemia and Alport syndrome can cause blood in the urine.
Blood in the urine can happen because of a variety of reasons – from harmless instances to more serious underlying factors. Choi Urology provides high-quality intervention with our urology in Tucson, Arizona.
