4. Hematuria
Remember our rant earlier on abut how doctors seem to have a fetish for using overly complicated words to describe otherwise simple things? This is another prime example of that. Hematuria sounds way more complicated than it should be as it literally just means that here’s blood in your urine. Most people panic at the sight of any red in their toilet for fear that it may be a symptom of cancer.
While it’s true that prostate cancer can lead to bloody urine, it’s not the only cause. Cystitis isn’t usually that serious. Still, the inflammation of your bladder can damage the tissue. This could lead to bleeding that leaves your body together with the urine. If you’re concerned about the blood in your urine — and you should be — then the best thing to do would be to head on over to your local hospital and get a urine test to see what the problem is.
