Blood in Urine (Hematuria) – Causes, Dangers & When to Seek Immediate Treatment
Seeing blood in urine is never normal and should never be ignored. Even if the bleeding is painless or happens only once, it can be the first warning sign of a serious underlying disease involving the kidneys, bladder, prostate, or urinary tract.
⚠️ Blood in urine is a symptom — not a disease.
Finding the cause early can save your kidneys and even your life.
🔍 What Is Blood in Urine (Hematuria)?
Hematuria means the presence of red blood cells in urine.
There are two types:
1️⃣ Visible (Gross) Hematuria
✅ Urine appears red, pink, or cola-colored
✅ Most alarming and needs urgent evaluation
2️⃣ Microscopic Hematuria
✅ Blood seen only on urine test
✅ Detected during routine health checkups
✅ Can still indicate serious disease
Both types require medical investigation.
🚨 Common Causes of Blood in Urine
Blood in urine may be caused by:
✅ Kidney stones
✅ Ureteric stones
✅ Urinary tract infection (UTI)
✅ Bladder stones
✅ Enlarged prostate (BPH)
✅ Prostate infection
✅ Kidney infection
✅ Trauma or injury
✅ Heavy exercise
✅ Blood-thinning medications
✅ Tumors of kidney, bladder, or prostate
⚠️ In people above 45–50 years, blood in urine is considered cancer until proven otherwise.
⚠️ Dangerous Warning Signs Associated With Blood in Urine
Rush to the hospital if you have:
✅ Severe back or side pain
✅ Burning while passing urine
✅ Fever & chills

🩺 How Blood in Urine Is Diagnosed
Your doctor may advise:
✅ Urine routine & microscopy
✅ Urine culture
✅ Ultrasound abdomen
✅ CT scan of kidneys & bladder
✅ Cystoscopy (camera test for bladder)
✅ PSA test (for prostate)
✅ Blood tests for kidney function
Early testing helps identify stones, infections, tumors, and prostate problems before complications arise.
💊 Treatment of Blood in Urine Depends on the Cause
✅ If Cause Is UTI:
- Antibiotics
- Alkalizers
- Hydration therapy
✅ If Cause Is Kidney or Ureteric Stones:
- Medicines for small stones
- Laser stone surgery for stuck or large stones
✅ If Cause Is Enlarged Prostate:
- Medicines
- Laser prostate surgery (permanent solution)
✅ If Cause Is Tumor:
- Surgical removal
- Further oncological treatment if needed
⚠️ Self-medication is dangerous and can mask cancer symptoms.
❌ What Happens If Blood in Urine Is Ignored?
Ignoring hematuria can result in:
❌ Permanent kidney damage
❌ Recurrent severe infections
❌ Complete urine blockage
❌ Sepsis (blood infection)
❌ Advanced-stage cancer detection
❌ Emergency ICU admission
