Hematuria Treatment (Blood in Urine) in Hyderabad: Expert Care at Lux Hospitals
Hematuria, or blood in the urine, can be alarming and may indicate an underlying health issue. It can occur due to various reasons, ranging from minor infections to more serious conditions affecting the kidneys, bladder, or urinary tract. Early diagnosis and proper care are essential to manage hematuria effectively and prevent complications. For advanced Hematuria Treatment in Hyderabad, Lux Hospitals provides expert urological care using the latest diagnostic and treatment options.
What is Hematuria?
Hematuria refers to the presence of blood in the urine. It can be classified into two types:
- Gross Hematuria: Blood is visible to the naked eye, making the urine appear pink, red, or brown.
- Microscopic Hematuria: Blood is not visible to the naked eye but can be detected under a microscope during a urine test.
The presence of blood in the urine can indicate a problem in the urinary tract, including the kidneys, bladder, ureters, or urethra. While hematuria itself may not cause pain, the underlying condition can lead to discomfort and other symptoms.
Causes of Hematuria
Kidney stones may form from several factors, including:
- Â Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs):Â Bacterial infections in the urinary tract can cause inflammation and bleeding, leading to blood in the urine. Symptoms include a burning sensation while urinating, increased frequency of urination, and pelvic pain.
- Kidney Stones: Kidney stones are hard mineral deposits that form in the kidneys and can cause irritation, blockage, and bleeding when passing through the urinary tract. Hematuria due to kidney stones is often accompanied by sharp pain in the back or side.
- Bladder or Kidney Infections: Infections in the bladder or kidneys can damage the tissues and cause blood to appear in the urine.
- Â Enlarged Prostate (in Men): An enlarged prostate can press against the urethra, leading to difficulty in urination and blood in the urine. This is more common in older men.
- Â Cancer: Hematuria can sometimes be a sign of bladder, kidney, or prostate cancer. Early diagnosis is essential to improve treatment outcomes.
- Injury or Trauma: Physical injury to the kidneys or bladder, such as from an accident or sports injury, can cause internal bleeding and result in hematuria.
- Medications: Certain medications like blood thinners (aspirin, heparin) or pain relievers (NSAIDs) can cause bleeding in the urinary tract, leading to hematuria.
Symptoms of Hematuria
The most obvious symptom of hematuria is blood in the urine. Other associated hematuria symptoms depend on the underlying cause and may include:
- Pink, red, or brown-colored urine
- Pain or burning sensation while urinating
- Increased urgency and frequency of urination
- Lower abdominal or back pain
- Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
- Inability to empty the bladder completely
If you experience any of these symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention immediately to prevent complications.
