10 Prostate Cancer Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #3: Hematuria
Hematuria is a term that describes the presence of blood in the urine where it can be gross (seen with the naked eye) or microscopic (only seen under a microscope). In prostate cancer patients, this is a less common sign but if present, should warrant an immediate visit to your doctor.
Keep an eye out as all you notice might only be a slightly pinkish tint in your urine. Besides prostate cancer, there are many causes of hematuria such as infections in the prostate, bladder, kidney stones, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and other tumors in the bladder or kidneys. Some foods can also turn the urine pinkish but blood is not present.
