Blood in urine


Blood in the urine "Hematuria" can be either visible to the naked eye (gross hematuria), or it can be invisible (hematuria).

Blood in the urine can range from pale pink to red with clots in case of gross hematuria. The amount of blood in the urine can vary, but the diagnosis for each of them is the same.

In addition, gross hematuria can be easily detected because it is visible to the naked eye. However, this is not the case with microscopic hematuria.

In microscopic hematuria, and especially when it is a painless hematuria, only a periodic medical examination can help diagnosis.

We must question the reasons behind the internal bleeding. Bleeding can occur anywhere along the urinary tract, ie the ureters, kidneys, urethra or bladder.



Causes of blood in urine

The urinary tract consists of two kidneys, two ureters, urethra and bladder. The function of the kidneys is to remove excess fluid in the body as well as waste products. This liquid is collected in the bladder through hollow tubes called ureters.
In hematuria, there is a leakage of blood in the urinary tract.

The reason for this leak can come from one of the following reasons:

- Urinary Tract Infection
- Kidney Infection
- Exercises-sports too intense
- Drugs
- Calculations
- Cancer of the kidney
- Enlarged prostate ...

Symptoms of blood in the urine and urinary tract infections

Urinary tract infection is the urinary tract infection and is observed in women compared to men.

There are various conditions that can cause urinary tract infections, including cystitis, urethritis, vaginitis or irritable bladder.

And if a member connected to the urinary tract is infected, it causes a urinary tract infection.

The main reason for urinary tract infection is a bacterium. The bacteria can enter the body through the rectal area, and these bacteria multiply and cause urinary tract infection.

Symptoms of a urinary tract infection can sometimes occur after sexual activity.

Symptoms of a urinary tract infection which may accompany hematuria are:

- Urine-trouble
- Color-dark urine, most often red or brown
- Fever
- Strong desire to urinate
- Frequent urination
- Pain-sides and back
- Pelvic pressure
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Discomfort in the lower abdomen

Urinary tract infection is the main cause of the red color of the urine.

However, having blood in the urine does not necessarily imply that there is a urinary tract infection.

Urinary tract infections should be treated promptly, especially in the case of blood in urine during pregnancy, otherwise they can lead to chronic kidney disease.

Kidney damage due to untreated urinary tract infection is a common problem among the elderly and children.
Drink plenty of water or fluids to avoid bacteria causing urinary tract infections, and to avoid having blood in the urine.
