10 Urinary Tract Infection Symptoms
Symptom #8: Hematuria
Hematuria is a term referring to blood in the urine. In some cases of a UTI, there may be traces of blood in the urine causing it to appear pinkish. However, this is also a symptom that can be seen in more serious conditions such as bladder and renal cancer.
It is therefore important for individuals who experience hematuria to see a doctor for an evaluation to rule out cancer or stones in the urinary tract. Other causes of pink urine include the consumption of beets or dragon fruit, or as a side effect of medication such as rifampin.
