What is hematuria in men?

In daily life, many men suffer from hematuria. This situation is mostly caused by diseases in their urinary system, such as prostatitis, cystitis or kidney diseases. If people want to treat this disease, they need to understand its cause in detail and then take corresponding measures to treat it. Let's take a detailed look at what hematuria is in men.

Male hematuria refers to the presence of fresh blood in the urine, blood clots in the urine, etc. Hematuria can be confirmed by a routine urine test. Generally, inflammation of the genitourinary system can cause hematuria, such as bleeding of the prostatic capsule, bleeding of the bladder, and urinary stones. Scratching of the mucosa can also cause bleeding. In addition, tumors of the bladder, renal pelvis, and ureter are also relatively common.

Go to the hospital for treatment in time after the occurrence of hematuria, especially if the hematuria is asymptomatic and occurs occasionally and then disappears after a period of time, it may be mistakenly believed that the disease has improved, which may delay the best time for diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

The cause of hematuria in men should be determined based on age and whether there are other symptoms. Painless hematuria, that is, only hematuria without any other discomfort symptoms, the hematuria appears like meat washing. For middle-aged and elderly men, it may be caused by urinary tract tumors, which are common in the bladder and renal pelvis.

Blood clots with streaks may be caused by ureteral tumors. Hematuria accompanied by frequent urination, urgency and pain is mostly caused by urinary tract infection. If accompanied by sudden pain in the waist and abdomen, paroxysmal colic, nausea and vomiting, it is often caused by urinary stones. For elderly people with progressive dysuria, consider prostatic hyperplasia. In addition, some people have hematuria after strenuous exercise, which is called exercise-induced hematuria.
