Why do men bleed after urinating?

Many men are frightened when they experience bleeding in their urine, thinking that they have an incurable disease. In fact, bleeding in urine does not mean that it cannot be cured, but you must also understand the knowledge related to your physical health and pay attention to the symptoms. Generally, bleeding in urine may be caused by inflammation or disease, so there is no need to worry. So why do men bleed after urinating? Let's learn about it together.

What causes bleeding in male urine?

1. Urinary tract infection: Clinically, hematuria is common when the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, etc. are stimulated by inflammation. The fragility of blood vessels increases, and when they are stimulated to contract, they are prone to bleeding. The blood will mix with urine and be discharged from the urethra, forming hematuria.

2. Urinary stones: For example, urethral stones, kidney stones, and ureteral stones can lead to hematuria. This is because the stones rub against the body and cause bleeding, which is excreted in the urine of the patient. It may also be accompanied by severe paroxysmal low back pain and symptoms of renal colic.

3. Acute cystitis: The bladder is an organ with rich blood vessels. When suffering from acute cystitis, the microvessels of the bladder mucosa are damaged, and most patients will have hematuria. In mild cases, blood streaks can be seen when wiping, and in severe cases, there will be a large amount of bright red hematuria. At the same time, patients will also have symptoms of frequent urination, difficulty urinating, and painful urination.

When urination starts with hematuria and then becomes normal, it is usually caused by urinary tract infection or urethral disease. If urination starts normally but hematuria appears near the end, it is usually caused by cystitis and prostate disease. If there is hematuria throughout the whole process and the blood is dark red, it is usually caused by kidney disease. You need to go to the hospital for a detailed examination to find out what disease causes the hematuria so that you can get a better treatment.

It is wrong for many patients to hesitate to treat urinary bleeding. They have a narrow understanding of their condition and only think about buying medicine. Once urinary bleeding and related symptoms occur, you must pay attention and never take it lightly. Male diseases are not trivial. Early detection and early treatment are necessary. According to the examination results, symptomatic treatment is carried out to treat urinary bleeding in a targeted manner.
