Doctor's answer:

The main reasons for hematuria are the following three: inflammation, stones, and tumors. Stones themselves, whether in the kidneys, ureters, or bladder, can all cause hematuria. Currently, it is recommended that drinking a large amount of water may help smaller stones to be pushed or flushed out by the urine flow. Increasing urine volume is also beneficial for infection control. When pain cannot be relieved by medication or the stone is large in diameter, surgical treatment measures should be considered. Prostate conditions tend to recur frequently.
