What is the cause of hematuria

The urine of a normal person should be clear. Many people do not pay much attention to the healthy color of their urine when going to the toilet. However, when men go to the toilet, they find that the urine is turbid and accompanied by blood. This symptom can be considered as hematuria. Hematuria will make people very scared at the beginning, and even worry about having an incurable disease. In fact, most men's hematuria is caused by prostate hyperplasia, urinary tract infection, and urinary tract stones. Generally, cancer is not easy to cause hematuria. Cancer always has more serious symptoms, which will appear on the surface of the body, not just in the urine. If the hematuria is more serious, you can go to the hospital for relevant examinations. According to the results of the examination, determine the appropriate diagnostic method. It cannot be delayed for a long time. Active examination and diagnosis are required.

What causes blood in the urine in men?

1. Hematuria caused by prostatic hyperplasia

Prostatic hyperplasia can be said to be the most common disease in elderly men. Hematuria is a common symptom of prostatic hyperplasia. This is because as the prostate enlarges, the capillaries in the mucosa on the surface of the prostate become congested, dilated, and twisted. When stretched by the bladder or an enlarged prostate, these capillaries rupture, causing blood in the urine.

2. Hematuria caused by urinary tract infection

Renal hematuria refers to hematuria originating from the glomeruli. Clinically, it manifests as simple hematuria or hematuria accompanied by proteinuria, and is more common in patients with urinary tract infections. If the treatment is not thorough, the disease recurs or is misdiagnosed or missed, the condition cannot be effectively controlled and will eventually lead to uremia.

3. Hematuria in men caused by urinary stones

Urinary stones are a common disease of the urinary system, which is usually accompanied by hematuria. The harm of urinary stones to the body ranges from mild to severe. In mild cases, it only causes some symptoms such as bloating and discomfort in the kidney area or abdomen. The movement of stones usually causes renal colic and hematuria. In severe cases, due to large and multiple stones or stones being in the urinary tract for too long, urine outflow is blocked, leading to urinary tract infection, hydroureteronephrosis and renal damage.
