Patient's question:
Baby has been crying a lot recently and is also reluctant to eat. There is some frequent urination, and when called to urinate, it's always too late. The urine has blood in it. What could be the reason for the blood in the urine?Doctor's answer:
There are many factors that can cause blood in urine. Most cases of hematuria are caused by diseases of the urinary system. These include acute nephritis, renal cysts, kidney stones, ureteral stones, bladder stones, urethral stones, as well as benign prostatic hyperplasia, urinary tract infections, prostatitis, and even prostate tumors, all of which can lead to hematuria. When stones or inflammation are present, patients may experience additional clinical symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria, in addition to hematuria. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a thorough examination when necessary.
