What causes painful urination and blood in urine in men?

Urinating is something we do frequently in our daily life. Normally, our urine is transparent. Abnormal urination must be taken seriously. Many men experience urinary pain and blood when urinating, which is even more abnormal. So what is the reason for urinary pain and blood in men? Let's learn more about it through the following introduction.

What is the cause of blood in urine and pain in urine? The common causes of blood in urine and pain in urine are as follows:

(1) Hematuria and pain 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 as the prostate enlarges. When these capillaries are pulled by the contraction of the bladder or the enlarged prostate, they will rupture, causing hematuria and pain.

(2) Hematuria and dysuria caused by urinary tract infection: Clinically, hematuria and dysuria are common in infections of the urogenital system. When the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, etc. are stimulated by inflammation, the fragility of blood vessels increases. When they are stimulated and contract, they are prone to bleeding. The blood will mix with urine and be discharged from the urethra, forming hematuria. When urine containing blood flows through the urethra, it will stimulate the urethral mucosa and cause pain.

(3) Other infections causing hematuria and dysuria: According to the different sources of hematuria, hematuria can be divided into initial hematuria, terminal hematuria, and complete hematuria. The three-cup urine test can be used to distinguish the causes of hematuria and dysuria.

The harm of hematuria and dysuria to men: Hematuria and dysuria in men will bring serious psychological burden to patients. Before the diagnosis is confirmed, patients often worry too much, which will affect some mental diseases in the long run. Urinary tract infection can cause urethral stenosis and ejaculation dysfunction, which can directly affect the epithelium of the urethra and form scars at the infected site. In severe cases, this can cause dysuria and ejaculation disorders, leading to male infertility. Finally, the bacteria hidden in the urethra enter the urethral crypts, paraurethral glands, prostate, seminal vesicles, vas deferens, epididymis and testicles, which can cause a series of complications such as paraurethral abscesses and urethral fistulas, which are very harmful to men's reproductive health.

Through the above introduction, we know why men have painful urination and blood in urine. When this happens, there is usually a problem with the body. We must conduct timely examinations and treatments. During the treatment period, we must also pay attention to our usual eating habits and living habits. While adjusting our diet, we must also drink more water and urinate more often.
