Haematuria can appear as either ‘gross haematuria’, where blood is visible in the urine, or ‘microscopic haematuria’, where blood is only detectable under a microscope. Common associated symptoms include urinary frequency and urgency, painful urination, and abdominal pain.
Treatment for haematuria depends on the underlying cause and may include:
Antibiotics: If a urinary tract infection (UTI) is causing the haematuria, antibiotics will be prescribed to eliminate the infection.
Medication Adjustment: If medications are causing the haematuria, adjustments or alternatives may be recommended.
Surgical Interventions: In cases where structural abnormalities, tumors, or significant blockages are identified, surgical interventions such as cystoscopy, robotic surgery, or laparoscopic surgery may be necessary to address the issue.
