Is Blood In Urine Once A Cause For Concern?

investigation is required
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
blood in the urine requires investigation. Clinical details are very important in this regard. Painful bleeding usually suggests obstruction by a stone. Painless bleeding may suggest tumors. An ultrasound scan of the urinary tract is a good test to start with as it may reveal various problems. A urinalysis is also important as it may reveal a urinary tract infection (UTI) and will confirm bleeding. UTI is usually accompanied by dysuria, frequency and urgency.
The rest of the investigation depends on the results of the first tests and the symptoms. So in conclusion, the symptoms are very important to determine the strategy of investigation. Some common causes are urinary tract stones, tumors and infections. Starting with a urinalysis and an ultrasound scan would help to gather important details.
I hope it helps!
Kind Regards!
