Q. Is blood in urine always a sign of a serious medical condition?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
No, the presence of blood in urine (hematuria) is not always a sign of a serious medical condition. While it can be associated with issues like urinary tract infections, kidney stones, or bladder infections, there are also less severe causes, such as vigorous exercise or certain medications. However, it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the specific cause and appropriate course of action, as sometimes hematuria can be a symptom of more serious conditions like kidney disease or bladder cancer. Always seek medical advice for a proper diagnosis.
