Blood in the Urine (Hematuria)

Why Blood in the Urine Matters

Hematuria can have many possible causes, ranging from benign to serious. Some causes require immediate treatment to prevent complications. Common sources include:

• Kidney stones
• Urinary tract infections
• Enlarged prostate (in men)
• Bladder or kidney irritation
• Recent exercise or dehydration
• Bladder or kidney cancer
• Trauma
• Medications or blood thinners

Because some of these conditions are serious, prompt evaluation is essential.

Timely Evaluation & Advanced Diagnostics

RoMIUS Urology offers rapid access across Northwest and West Central Ohio, ensuring patients are evaluated quickly and comfortably. Our diagnostic approach may include:

• Urinalysis
• Urine culture
• Urine cytology (cancer screening)
• Imaging (ultrasound, CT scan)
• Cystoscopy – a brief office procedure to inspect the bladder

These tools allow us to identify the cause of bleeding accurately and efficiently.
