What is Hematuria?

The medical term Hematuria means blood in your urine. This condition may appear in two main ways. First, there is "gross Hematuria," where blood is visible and the urine looks pink, red or dark brown. This type is very easy to notice because of the colour change. Then there's "microscopic Hematuria," characterised by blood cells so few that they can not be observed without a microscope. You might only find out about it through a urine test by a doctor.

There are several reasons why your urine may contain blood. It may be something less serious like a minor infection or after too much exercise. But it could also indicate more serious issues like kidney stones, kidney infections, bladder or urinary tract disorders. Hematuria can be a side effect of some medications as well.

Because Hematuria causes can be so diverse, from relatively benign to very serious, consulting a certified ayurveda doctor is essential for a proper diagnosis and ayurvedic treatment for Hermaturia.

Common Causes of Hematuria

Hematuria, or blood in the urine, can be alarming when you first notice it. It is a symptom which shouldn't be ignored and can be caused by several different kinds of health problems, including minor as well as more significant issues. Knowing the common causes of Hematuria may help you get the right treatment timely.

Urinary Tract infection (UTIs): These infections involve bacteria entering the urinary system and causing inflammation and irritation that may cause bleeding.
Kidney Infections: These infections are like UTIs, but in the kidneys. In such infections, back pain, fever, and nausea may occur together with blood in urine.
Kidney Stones: The hard deposits of minerals and salts in the kidneys can scrape the urinary tract and cause bleeding.
Cancer of the Bladder or Kidneys: These cancers can cause bleeding in the urinary system (blood in urine).
Enlarged Prostate: In males, an enlarged prostate could put pressure on the urethra and result in Hematuria.
Physical Activity: Strenuous exercising, such as long distance jogging, may rupture or tear muscle tissue, resulting in blood in the urine.
Medications: Several drugs, like blood thinners and pain relievers, trigger and worsen urinary tract bleeding.
Glomerulonephritis: This condition causes inflammation of the kidney's filtering units and leads to blood in the urine.
Menstruation: Menstrual blood may mix with urine sometimes, presenting as Hematuria for women.

Signs and Symptoms of Hematuria

Hematuria can sometimes be seen with the naked eye, but other times, it's only detectable through a microscope. It does not always accompany other symptoms, but knowing the accompanying signs may help determine the cause and urgency of the condition.

Do you have any of the following symptoms?

• Visible blood in your urine (red, pink, or cola-coloured)
• Pain or burning sensation when urinating
• Frequent need to urinate
• Persistent urge to urinate even with an empty bladder
• Pain in the lower abdomen or sides (flank pain)
• Fever or chills along with urinary issues
• Weak or interrupted urine stream
• Swelling in your legs or around your eyes

Ayurvedic Medicines for Hematuria

Ayurveda gives an all natural treatment approach to Hematuria by addressing the root-cause of the problem. These herbal medicines neutralise the body energies (doshas) and restore normal urinary function. Following are some commonly used Ayurvedic herbs during treatment of Hematuria.
Punarnava: Punarnava detoxifies kidneys and improves urinary health. It decreases inflammation and also helps get rid of toxins.
Gokshura: This herb is widely used for urinary disorders. It soothes the urinary tract and also supports kidney function, so it's useful in decreasing blood in urine.
Ashwagandha: Widely used because of its stress-relieving and anti-inflammatory qualities, Ashwagandha also assists kidney health and disorders which could cause Hematuria.
Dandelion: Dandelion is a diuretic which helps kidney function. It purifies the urinary system by improving urine production and excreting wastes.
Kaasni: It's good for liver and kidney health and may improve urinary function and decrease volume of blood in urine.
Varun: Commonly used for urinary tract health, Varun dissolves kidney stones - a common cause of Hematuria, and improves urinary system function.
