Hematuria, or blood in the urine, is a symptom that should never be ignored. Whether it’s visible to the eye (gross hematuria) or only detected on a urine test (microscopic hematuria), it can be a sign of an underlying issue in the kidneys, bladder, prostate, or urinary tract.
At Sarvodya Hospital, under Dr. Rajesh Aggarwal, we specialize in the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of hematuria, using state-of-the-art diagnostics to identify the cause and provide appropriate treatment.
Hematuria refers to the presence of red blood cells in the urine. There are two main types:
Even if you don’t have pain or other symptoms, blood in the urine should always be evaluated by a urologist.
Symptoms That May Accompany Hematuria
Depending on the underlying cause, hematuria may occur with:
Hematuria can result from a range of urologic conditions, including:
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Bacteria can inflame the bladder or urethra, leading to bleeding.
At Sarvodya Hospital, we perform a thorough evaluation to identify the source of bleeding and rule out serious conditions.
Diagnostic Tests May Include:
Treatment for Hematuria
Treatment depends entirely on the underlying cause:
Cause | Treatment Options |
UTI | Antibiotics |
Kidney stones | Observation, medications, or minimally invasive stone removal |
BPH | Medications or surgical procedures to reduce prostate size |
Bladder/kidney tumors | Further testing, surgery, or oncology referral |
Trauma | Supportive care or surgical repair |
Medication-related | Adjust or stop contributing medications under medical guidance |
In many cases, hematuria is not serious, but it is essential to rule out cancer or structural abnormalities.

Concerned About Blood in Your Urine?
Don’t delay evaluation. Hematuria is not something to ignore — early diagnosis can prevent complications and detect serious issues early.
Not always, but it can be. Even painless hematuria can be a sign of bladder or kidney cancer, especially in older adults or smokers.
Schedule an appointment with a urologist as soon as possible for proper evaluation.
Dehydration can concentrate urine and make it appear darker, but true hematuria involves red blood cells in the urine and should be assessed.
The causes can differ slightly — for example, prostate issues are unique to men — but both men and women should be evaluated if they experience hematuria.
