Blood in the urine can either be seen with the naked eye (visible haematuria) or picked up on urine testing (microscopic haematuria). Sometimes it occurs on its own and sometimes has associated symptoms like pain, or difficulty passing urine. It is a very common condition, and while the majority of causes are fortunately benign it can also be caused by more serious conditions such as bladder cancer, kidney cancer and prostate cancer. If you think you have seen blood in your urine, or your GP has found it on testing, then it is very important that you are reviewed by a urologist. Nottingham urology group provides a full range of investigations and treatments for blood in the urine, from initial diagnostic tests like passing a camera to the bladder (cystoscopy), and scans of your kidneys, through to surgical management of the cause.
