Hematuria (Blood in Urine) — When to See a Urologist
Blood in your urine — visible or not — is never normal. It is always a signal from your body that something needs attention.
Do not wait for it to happen again. Act the first time.
What Is Hematuria?
- Gross Hematuria — visible blood; urine appears pink, red, or brown
- Microscopic Hematuria — invisible to the eye; detected only in urine tests
Both require medical evaluation.
Common Causes
- Kidney stones scraping the urinary tract
- Urinary tract infections
- Enlarged prostate in men
- Kidney infection
- Bladder or kidney cancer — painless blood is an early warning sign
- Blood thinners and certain medications
Warning Signs to Never Ignore
- Visible blood in urine — even just once
- Blood clots during urination
- Painless blood in urine in adults over 40
- Blood in urine with high fever
- Recurring episodes
How a Urologist Diagnoses It
- Urine culture and routine test
- Ultrasound KUB
- CT scan for detailed imaging
- Cystoscopy — camera inside the bladder
- Blood and kidney function tests
