Other Urology Conditions
Blood in the urine is called haematuria. It can be a very alarming symptom. Although there is frequently an innocent explanation for the bleeding, it can be a sign of an underlying problem so it's important that you don't ignore it. Ask your doctor for advice so that a referral to a specialist can be made if needed.
Possible causes of blood in the urine include:
- urinary infections
- bladder cancers
