Will I have blood in my urine if I have chronic prostatitis?

Chronic prostatitis is a common disease that causes many men to fall into trouble. Men's life and work are affected by chronic prostatitis. Chronic prostatitis is quite harmful and can easily lead to infertility in patients. Some patients may even suffer from sexual dysfunction, impotence and premature ejaculation. Therefore, we must actively seek treatment. Many people may have such questions: Will chronic prostatitis cause blood in the urine? Let me introduce it to you below.

1. Hematuria caused by chronic prostatitis

Many diseases can cause hematuria, but the most typical one is chronic prostatitis. As we all know, patients with severe chronic prostatitis will have hematuria. Why does this happen? Hematuria is caused by prostatitis flowing into the posterior urethra. Clinically, it often manifests as terminal hematuria (i.e., the urine color darkens at the end of urination). This is because at the end of urination, the posterior urethra and bladder contract, and the urethral glands are compressed.

Many of these patients present with morning hematuria, which means hematuria when urinating for the first time in the morning. This is because the parasympathetic nerves in the human body are excited at night, which is the reason for the prostate gland. Hematuria is often painless and can be easily confused with the clinical manifestations of diseases such as bladder tumors or prostate cancer. However, bladder tumors are mostly painless and full-course intraocular hematuria, and they do not necessarily appear in the morning. Therefore, when young and middle-aged men have unexplained hematuria, the possibility of prostatitis should be considered.

2. Hematuria caused by prostatic hyperplasia

Similarly, prostate hyperplasia can also cause hematuria. However, the amount of hematuria caused by prostate hyperplasia is not common, and most of the cases are still microscopic hematuria. The prostate is an organ rich in blood vessels, and the blood vessels of the prostate after hyperplasia are even richer. The enlarged prostate presses against the bladder and urethra. With each urination, the constant impact and the restriction of the urethra and pelvic muscles will cause the blood vessels in the prostate to rupture, resulting in hematuria.

The above content introduces the question of whether chronic prostatitis will cause hematuria. I believe everyone has the answer. This disease can cause hematuria. If you have this symptom, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time without delay. Here we need to remind everyone that if you have hematuria, it is best to go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment, and not to go to some unqualified small hospitals for treatment.
