It may be noticed as visible red, pink, or tea-coloured urine, or it might only be detected through routine urine tests where microscopic traces of blood are identified.
While in some cases there are no accompanying symptoms, others may experience discomfort when passing urine, increased frequency, or difficulty fully emptying the bladder. The presence of blood in urine is not a condition in itself but often a sign of an underlying issue within the urinary system. At The Day Clinic in Cambridge, we see patients with haematuria caused by a wide range of factors. These include urinary tract infections, kidney stones, benign enlargement of the prostate, kidney disease, trauma to the urinary tract, or in some cases more serious conditions such as prostate cancer or bladder cancer.
Because the causes of haematuria vary from mild to serious, it is important to have it properly assessed. The Day Clinic offers a comprehensive and discreet service for anyone concerned about blood in their urine. During your consultation, one of our experienced urology specialists will take a full medical history and conduct appropriate tests, which may include urine analysis, blood tests, imaging such as ultrasound or CT scan, and flexible cystoscopy if required.
Once the cause has been identified, we provide a full range of treatment options tailored to your specific needs. This may involve antibiotics for infections, advice on managing kidney stones, treatment plans for benign prostatic conditions, or onward referral and specialist support in the event of cancer detection. Throughout your care with The Day Clinic in Cambridge, you can expect a professional, patient-focused approach designed to provide clarity, reassurance, and effective treatment solutions for all concerns related to haematuria.
