Is occult blood in men's urine serious?

1. When a man has occult blood in his urine, the result is 3. This is like hematuria. This kind of symptom should not be ignored. It is a warning sign of urinary or urinary system disease. Especially when it is 3, it also means that the urinary and urinary system disease has already been serious. Therefore, when this kind of situation occurs, it must not be ignored. Generally speaking, there are three reasons for occult blood in urine: inflammation, stones, and tumors.

2. Inflammations that can cause occult blood in urine include pyelonephritis, glomerulonephritis, cystitis, etc. Such patients will not only have occult blood in urine, but also obvious hematuria symptoms. Among all the inflammatory causes that cause occult blood in urine in men, nephritis is the most unbelievable one, because many patients often cannot quickly discover and check that it is caused by renal dysfunction after the onset of occult blood in urine symptoms. Inflammation plus renal dysfunction will cause symptoms such as proteinuria and edema, and the disease is prone to recurrence. Secondly, whether it is kidney stones, ureteral stones, or bladder stones, they may cause occult hematuria3 and other main manifestations; and tumors that can cause occult hematuria include different levels of kidney tumors, bladder tumors, benign tumors or malignant tumors generated in the urethra, etc. This symptom is also very harmful to physical and mental health.

Under normal circumstances, occult blood in men's urine can be seen in the following conditions:

1. Stones. Stones themselves, whether they are kidney function, urethral or bladder stones, can cause occult bleeding. In other cases, constipation can also cause occult bleeding.

2. Prostatitis. Prostatitis can also cause occult blood in the urine, so it is recommended that regular examinations and treatments should be carried out promptly when such symptoms occur.

3. Tumors can also cause occult blood. For example, benign or malignant tumors of the kidney, bladder, and urethra. Older men may have prostate hyperplasia and excessive urination, and their bladders are prone to inflammation. The blood vessels on the surface of the male prostate are swollen, and urination is difficult. After urinating vigorously, hematuria or occult blood may occur. In fact, prostate hyperplasia is also considered a type of tumor. It is a tumor of the male prostate, which becomes thick due to hyperplasia. Therefore, tumors in the urinary system cannot be ignored. At this time, intravenous pyelography should be performed. If there is no problem with the angiography, the transitional cell tumor can be ruled out. Routine urine tests should also be repeated regularly. If there is still occult blood, the patient should go to the nephrology department for treatment and perform a renal puncture biopsy if necessary.

4. Inflammatory aspect. For example, glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis, cystitis, etc., in addition to the possibility of hematuria, urine tests may also show occult blood. The stones themselves, whether they are kidney function, urethral tube or bladder stones, may cause occult blood. Other situations such as constipation during menstruation may also cause occult blood.

So what should we do about occult blood in urine? How to remove it?

1. Eliminate factors of urinary tract obstruction: Long-term urinary tract obstruction can cause damage to kidney function, which in turn causes abnormalities in the filtering function of the renal tubules and the dilution function of the renal tubules, causing blood cells to be excreted from the body along with urine.

2. Treat urinary tract infection: Urinary tract infection will always affect kidney function, causing kidney function changes and leading to occult blood in urine. Therefore, it is necessary to actively control urinary tract infection.

3. Diet adjustment and drug prevention: Diet adjustment should be carried out according to the different symptoms of occult hematuria. The symptoms can be alleviated by controlling diet. In addition, the use of some drugs can be considered to temporarily reduce the physical discomfort caused by occult hematuria.
