What Does Blood In The Urine Mean?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Blood in the urine is medically called 'hematuria.'  It refers to the presence of RBCs (Red Blood Cells) in the urine. If it is 'microscopic hematuria,' the colour of the urine looks normal to the naked eye but an examination under the microscope will show a greater number of RBCs.  If the colour of urine as 'red' or 'tea-coloured' is seen through the naked eye, it is the case of Gross Hematuria.

    There are many conditions which are a reason for hematuria. Fortunately, most of the cases of hematuria are not serious. A simple thing like an exercise may lead to hematuria which will go away on its own in a span of 24 hours. Some of the main reasons are urinary infection, effects of medicine, injury to your back or presence of kidney stones Hematuria can also result from an injury to the bladder, kidney or lower back. If the bleeding turn worse and does not go away in some hours, then you should call the doctor.
