How To Treat Hematuria?
Okay so this morning when I went to use the restroom I urinated; it also hurt badly. Not only that when I wiped myself there was light colored blood. This was the only time that this happend to me. Yesterday I did drink heavily. I am female. I also am sexually active. I smoke cigarettes and marijuana every now and then. So that isn't normal. What does it mean?

Hello.The most common cause of hematuria in young women is the urinary tract infection(UTI). If besides hematuria you have discomfort during urination and increased urinary frequency,UTI is likely diagnosis.Go to your doctor.
He can confirm the diagnosis with a sample of your urine or request additional tests if UTI is discarded.I wish you good health.
