What Are the Potential Causes of Blood in the Urine for Men?

Male hematuria is a common disease in the urinary system. Hematuria is closely related to urinary system injuries, infections, stones, prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia, and other diseases. At the same time, tumor diseases in the urinary system can also lead to hematuria, such as prostate tumors and bladder tumors. Therefore, when symptoms of hematuria appear, it is necessary to promptly undergo urinary system B-ultrasound, urine routine, urine culture, and other examinations in the urology department. Let's take a look at what are the causes of male hematuria?

1. Irregular treatment of prostatic hyperplasia leading to hemorrhagic injury: It is worth noting that irregular treatment often causes instrumental injury, such as bleeding caused by cystoscopy, catheterization, and urethral dilation, which is also a cause of hematuria.

2. Complications of prostatic hyperplasia leading to hematuria: Of course, the fundamental reason for hematuria in patients with prostatic hyperplasia is the benign lesions of complications. Severe patients with hematuria may also be due to urinary system tumors. Because prostatic hyperplasia can compress the urethra and merge with other lesions of the urinary tract, such as inflammation of the urethra and bladder, bladder stones, bladder diverticulum, etc., these lesions can also cause hematuria.

3. Poor urination leading to hematuria: We know that the blood vessels in the hyperplastic prostate can also increase, especially in a type of interstitial hyperplasia pathologically classified, which is manifested as a large amount of proliferation of fibrous tissue and blood vessels. The proliferative tissue protrudes into the urethral cavity and is exposed to more and stronger urine impact. Since the hyperplastic prostate makes it difficult for patients to urinate, excessive force during urination or sudden decompression after urination can easily lead to rupture of the rich blood vessels in the hyperplastic prostate, causing hematuria.

Clinically, male hematuria is referred to as hematuria, which is a common symptom of urinary system diseases, such as urinary system stones, urinary system infections, urinary system injuries, benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, etc. At the same time, urinary system tumors, such as bladder tumors, prostate tumors, renal pelvis tumors, and ureteral tumors, can also cause hematuria. In addition, transient hematuria may occur after intense exercise in young people, and blood system diseases with coagulation dysfunction can also lead to hematuria. Hemolysis caused by blood transfusion can also manifest as hematuria due to increased hemoglobin levels. Therefore, patients with symptoms of hematuria are advised to consult a urologist in the hospital for corresponding examinations, such as urine routine, urine culture, urinary system B-ultrasound, and even urinary system CT, cystoscopy, and urethroscopy, to further diagnose the condition.
