Blood in urine male

Though blood clots in urine can be distressing, it's not uncommon for blood to occur there. Blood in urine, also known as hematuria, can affect as many as 30% of adults at some point in their lives due to trauma, vigorous exercise, urinary tract infections (UTIs), medications, enlarged prostate, endometriosis, kidney disease, and, in rare cases, cancer.

In many cases, the bleeding will not be visible (microscopic hematuria).

In others, the bleeding and clots can be seen with the naked eye (gross hematuria). When blood clots develop, they tend to look like stringy worms.

Blood clots in urine warrant an investigation by a healthcare provider.

They may be caused by something relatively benign and treatable, but they may also be due to something serious.
