What is the reason for blood in urine

The human body is like a machine. After using it for a long time, there will always be some problems. One of the more common symptoms is blood in the urine, which can occur in both men and women. Many people get horrified when they see red blood in their urine, thinking they have an incurable disease. In fact, it is just that we don’t understand it. So what kind of disease is blood in urine? What are the causes?

No disease is simply caused by one reason, but rather because we do not pay attention to taking care of our bodies in daily life, which leads to damage to the "parts" of this body machine. Here are some common causes of blood in urine.

Blood in urine is also called hematuria. Common reasons are as follows:

1. Urinary stones: These include kidney, ureter, bladder or urethra stones.

2. Urinary and reproductive system infections: such as pyelonephritis, renal tuberculosis, seminal vesiculitis, cystitis, urethritis, and prostatitis.

3. Nephritis: including acute and chronic nephritis, focal nephritis, benign acute hemorrhagic nephritis, etc.

4. Urogenital system tumors: kidney tumors, ureter tumors, bladder tumors, prostate tumors, etc.

5. Other urinary system diseases: such as renal ptosis, wandering kidney, congenital polycystic kidney, etc.

6. Urinary system injury: damage to the kidneys caused by various chemicals or drugs, hematuria caused by sulfonamide drugs, etc. If hematuria is accompanied by pain, especially colic, urinary tract stones should be considered. If accompanied by urinary pain and interrupted urinary flow, bladder stones should be considered. If accompanied by obvious bladder irritation symptoms, urinary tract infection, urinary tuberculosis and bladder tumors are more common. In addition, the cause of hematuria should be comprehensively judged in combination with medical history, age, color and degree of hematuria. Hematuria is the most common and important symptom of urinary and male reproductive system diseases. In addition, it can also be caused by other diseases outside the urinary system, such as cardiovascular disease, blood disease, allergic disease, etc.

From the above explanation, we can understand that blood in urine is actually hematuria, and the common cause is nothing more than problems with the urinary system. Once you know which part has a problem, you can take appropriate measures for that part. Therefore, it is very important to understand the problems and pathologies in the body to avoid scaring yourself.
