Bad enough that you should see a doctor immediately.
Causes of Blood in Urine
Hematuria has many different causes.
Blood in the urine can come from any condition that results in infection, inflammation, or injury to the urinary system.
Typically, microscopic hematuria indicates damage to the upper urinary tract (kidneys), while visible blood indicates damage to the lower tract (ureters, bladder, or urethra). But this is not always the case.
The most common causes in people younger than 40 years are "stones" in the kidneys or ureters and urinary tract infections.
These may cause hematuria in older people, but cancers of the kidney, bladder, and prostate become a more common concern with people older than 40 years.
Several conditions causing hematuria may exist at the same time.
Some causes of hematuria are serious, others are not. Your health care provider will do tests to help tell the difference.
The well-known causes of blood in the urine include the following:
Kidney stones
Infections - Of the urinary tract or genitals, especially in women
Blockage of the urinary tract, usually the urethra - By a stone, a tumor, a narrowing of the opening (stricture), or a compression from surrounding structures
Cancer of the kidney, bladder, or prostate
Kidney disease
Blood clotting disorders
Injury to the upper or lower urinary tract, as in a car wreck or a bad fall
Medications - Antibiotics (for example, rifampin), analgesics such as aspirin, anticoagulants (blood thinners such as warfarin), phenytoin, quinine
Benign (noncancerous) enlargement of the prostate - Known as benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), a common condition in older men
Chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and sickle cell anemia
Viral infections
Inflammation of the kidney - Usually of unknown cause
Strenuous exercise, especially running - Results from repeated jarring of the bladder
Sometimes no cause is found for blood in the urine

They simply desire to be dealt with like every other child. I take that very critically with a grin and fun and specific love in my center. OK ample of cleaning soap field preaching I take my marriage critically however once more I attempt to preserve it recent and new. Everything else I most effective take part critically. I not ever think what a political candidate tells me so how do you're taking them critically? The media is to the factor in which they inform you most effective what fits there possess time table rather of simply reporting the inside track as it's. So how do I take them critically? However; I hardly ever take every day lifestyles critically. I used to try this and it practically killed me so now I take on a daily basis because it comes and check out to have as a lot amusing with it as I can. Nothing makes you consider larger than fun or a grin. Well besides for a nice intimate stumble upon besides. That places a BIG smile on my face.LOL
