What is the reason why men urinate blood?

What is the reason for men to have blood in their urine? Many patients ask these questions every day. It turns out that blood in men's urine is hematuria, which is often an important sign of various genitourinary infections or stones. Patients should pay enough attention to it.

For urology, the clinical significance of macroscopic hematuria is more important and should be taken seriously. During diagnosis, it should be distinguished from pigment urine, hemoglobinuria, and hemorrhoidal bleeding mixed in urine. The diagnosis of patients with hematuria is to solve the problem of "location", that is, where the blood comes from. What is the reason for men to urinate blood? In clinical practice, the common urinary diseases that cause hematuria are:

1. Prostatitis can cause hematuria in men

If urination is not smooth and there is no pain in the urethra, but the urine is light red to the naked eye or a small amount of red blood cells are seen under a microscope, it is mostly a symptom of prostatitis.

2. Hematuria caused by prostatic hyperplasia

Prostatic hyperplasia is the most common disease in elderly men. Hematuria is a common symptom of prostatic hyperplasia. This is because the capillaries in the mucosa on the surface of the prostate become congested, dilated, and twisted after the prostate enlarges. When the bladder contracts or the enlarged prostate is pulled, these capillaries will rupture, causing hematuria.

Therefore, if a man has blood in his urine, he must take it seriously and go to the hospital as soon as possible.
