Overview
This can be the presence of frank urinary bleeding or microscopic bleeding diagnosed with urinary dipstick testing. Often there is a need for an urgent referral to a urologist for a complete evaluation including a wide array of blood, urine and radiological investigations.
Causes
- Urinary tract infections
- Kidney stones
- Kidney disease
- Enlarged prostate
- Urological cancer
Treatment
The treatment that is needed will very much depend on the cause behind any urinary bleeding. It really is important not to self-diagnose or self-treat, but to seek advice as soon as possible. It is likely that the cause can be quickly treated, but a urologist will be able to help.
