4. Hematuria
This condition refers to blood in the urine. It’s a scary sight to see your urine turn dark brown. Typically, hematuria occurs when there’s damage to the kidneys from a forceful impact or bacterial infection. Men that are experiencing blood in the urine that are otherwise in good health may have prostate cancer.
Hematuria is a critical symptom of the disease that you shouldn’t ignore and requires immediate medical attention. Blood in the urine is a sign that the tumor has damaged the urethra or prostate, resulting in bleeding. This symptom generally occurs during the advanced stage of the disease where the prostate has reached a size that’s large enough to disrupt normal urinary tract function.
Confusing hematuria symptoms with issues affecting the kidneys is possible. However, it’s a dangerous warning sign of prostate cancer as well. Anyone experiencing this condition should visit their physician immediately for a diagnosis and treatment.
