Blood in the Urine
Noticeable blood in the urine, known as hematuria, can be an indication of cystitis. Individuals should consult a doctor if they see blood in their urine, as it can be a symptom of various conditions.
Cystitis causes blood in the urine when the blood vessels in the bladder and its lining are damaged. This can happen because of a bacterial infection, but it's more common when cystitis is caused by radiation treatments or chemotherapy.4‘Blood in Urine (haematuria).’ Nidirect, 12 Apr. 2021, www.nidirect.gov.uk/conditions/blood-urine-haematuria
