Symptom #8: Hematuria
Hematuria is a medical term that refers to traces of blood, either microscopic or gross amounts in the urine. Gross hematuria can be seen in 30 to 40% of female patients with pyelonephritis, most commonly young women. This is known as hemorrhagic cystitis.
In males, gross hematuria is rare and unusual. If it should occur, a more serious case should be considered. If you are experiencing this symptom, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible as it can signify a more serious condition such as bladder cancer, renal cancer, and more.
