I recently noticed that blood usually comes out when I am urinating. Kindly let me know what is causing this. I am 30-years old.

It can be scary to see blood in urine, also called hematuria. In many cases, the cause is harmless. But blood in urine also can be a sign of a serious illness. If you can see the blood, it’s called gross hematuria. Blood that can’t be seen with the naked eye is called microscopic hematuria. It’s such a small amount that it can be seen only under a microscope when a lab tests the urine.
Either way, it’s important to figure out the reason for the bleeding. Causes of blood in the Urine may vary from; Urinary tract infections (UTIs), Kidney infection, A bladder or kidney stone, Enlarged prostate, Kidney disease, Cancer and Kidney injury. Since treatment depends on the cause, it is advisable to see your doctor for a general medical examination.
