What Causes Blood In Urine?
Question: Sometimes when I go to urinate the water turns pink.What could be the cause?
Brief Answer:
Blood mixed with urine
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
IT should be blood mixed with urine. I suggest to get urine microscopy done first. Later Ultrasound of bladder and kidneys. Since the prostate is fine these are the next things to be checked. Please do not ignore this symptom at this age. It could be infection, tumor or stone.
If everything is alright then you can relax. Prostate is highly blood supplied so simple break in the capillaries which are fragile can cause blood to leak and mix with urine causing pink.
meanwhile drink more water to flushout.
Pass urine frequently so that nothing is left in the bladder
While passing urine, put down the pants till knee level and let all the drops fall off the penis so that you are sure no urine is left inside bladder.
A Urologist is the right specialist to meet.
