Patient's question:
The baby just turned one week old. Recently, he has been a bit coughy. This morning, after urinating, he found blood coming from the urethral opening, which scared him to death. There are no other discomforts in the child at home right now. What could be the reason for blood in the child's urine?Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend, childhood hematuria is often caused by kidney, ureter, or bladder diseases, with the most common being urinary tract infections, which are usually accompanied by frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, and difficulty urinating, and even fever. Routine urine tests can confirm the diagnosis of this disease. At the same time, attention should also be paid to whether hematuria is accompanied by reduced urine volume, facial and lower limb edema, etc. At this point, we should consider the possibility of kidney disease and improve relevant tests.
