What is the most common cause of blood in urine female

Some of the causes of blood in the urine are serious, so you should contact your healthcare provider if you notice this symptom.

If the symptom is due to cancer, ignoring it can lead to an advancement of the tumors to the point that treatment is difficult.

Untreated infections can ultimately lead to kidney failure.

Treatment can help reduce symptoms if the cause of hematuria is an enlarged prostate. Ignoring it may lead to discomfort from needing to urinate frequently, severe pain, and even cancer.

Preventing hematuria means preventing the underlying causes:

• To prevent infections, drink plenty of water daily, urinate immediately after sexual intercourse, and practice good hygiene.

• To prevent stones, drink plenty of water and avoid excess salt and certain foods like spinach and rhubarb.
• To prevent bladder cancer, refrain from smoking, limit your exposure to chemicals, and drink plenty of water.
