Urology
Hematuria refers to the presence of blood in urine. It can be gross hematuria (visible to the eye) or microscopic hematuria (detected only under a microscope). Regardless of the type, identifying the underlying cause is crucial, as it may indicate an infection, stone, or urinary tract disorder. Timely diagnosis and treatment by a qualified urologist help prevent complications and restore urinary health.
Hematuria can occur due to various conditions affecting the kidneys, bladder, prostate, or urinary tract. Common causes include:
The main symptom of hematuria is the presence of blood in the urine, which may appear pink, red, or cola-colored. In most cases, the bleeding is painless, but passing blood clots can cause discomfort or pain during urination.
If hematuria is related to a urinary tract infection (UTI), symptoms may include:
Back or flank pain may occur when the bleeding originates from the kidneys, often requiring further evaluation to identify renal causes.
To determine the cause of hematuria, your urologist may recommend a series of tests based on the severity, duration, and associated symptoms. These investigations help identify underlying urinary tract, kidney, or prostate conditions.
If you notice blood in your urine, it’s important to consult an experienced urologist immediately. The treatment for hematuria depends on its underlying cause, determined after proper diagnosis and evaluation.

Treating blood in your urine depends strongly on the actual cause of the haematuria. Your provider will use the information collected from your medical history, physical exam and test results to work with you to find the best treatment.
You shouldn’t ever ignore blood in your urine. It’s important to contact a healthcare provider if you see blood in your urine or if you have other symptoms related to haematuria.
Health care professionals treat hematuria by treating the underlying cause of the haematuria. You may not need treatment if there is no serious condition causing your haematuria.
Researchers have not found that eating, diet, and nutrition play a role in causing or preventing haematuria.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common cause of haematuria. Since the urinary tract is composed of the bladder, ureters, and kidneys, a UTI refers to an infection anywhere in that system. A bladder infection is called cystitis, and a kidney infection is called pyelonephritis
