What should I do if the urine occult blood is 1, 25 cells/μL?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Hematuria +1 in urinalysis, no other issues
Duration and persistence of the current illness: 3 months, sometimes detected, sometimes not
Current general condition: No significant discomfort
Medical history: Frequent colds causing upper respiratory infection
Previous diagnoses, treatments, and outcomes: Hematuria + disappeared for a period without medication
Other: Asking how to treat it

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Urine occult blood can only indicate the presence of red blood cell components in the urine. In normal human bodies, red blood cells are constantly destroyed, and their components are excreted through the urine. Therefore, it is normal for occult blood to be positive in the urine of healthy individuals. Weakly positive or positive results have no significant clinical value.
Children have weaker immune systems, making them more susceptible to urinary tract infections. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take their children to a top-tier hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and symptomatic treatment should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
