What does blood in urine show?
I was very concerned when I saw a slight trace of blood in my urine, is this something serious that may be a sign of it? ~ Monika
Clear traces of blood in the urine may be caused by a minor injury to the urethra, a urinary tract infection (e.g., hemorrhagic cystitis), migratory plaque in the urinary tract (urolithiasis), and a cancer of the urinary tract. Less commonly, macroscopic hematuria occurs in the pathology of the glomeruli. In women, traces of blood in the urine may also come from the reproductive organ. You should see your doctor and perform basic tests – general examination and urine culture, ultrasound of the kidneys and bladder. Hematuria may occur after sexual intercourse, intense exercise, and menstruation. If the haematuria could be related to these situations and has resolved, and after 2 days no red blood cells are found in the urine general examination, further diagnosis may not be necessary.
