Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I recently started urinating blood when I go to the restroom. I have a constant urge to urinate, and I have no idea why this is happening out of the blue. I am a 36-year-old male, 6.2 feet tall, weighing 190 pounds. I have no medical issues or past history of kidney problems or cancer. Could this be due to an STD (sexually transmitted diseases)?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Painless hematuria must be evaluated thoroughly and some factors must be taken into consideration like smoking, occupational exposure to certain substances, and a family history of kidney disease or cancer. Do not be alarmed, sometimes it may be as simple as a urinary tract infection, minor trauma to the urinary tract, or a small kidney stone. Please proceed with the following investigations to initiate proper treatment.
Thank you.
