Blood in the urine is usually caused by kidney and urinary tract diseases. In women, the blood may appear to be in the urine when it's actually coming from the vagina . In men, the urethra carries both urine and semen out of the body and what may be mistaken for urinary bleeding is sometimes a bloody ejaculation usually due to a prostate problem.
Bladder infections are more common in women than in men and are especially common during pregnancy .
Bladder infections are usually accompanied by pain or burning on urination , frequent urgent urination, and occasionally blood in the urine. Discoloration from drugs or foods can mimic blood in the urine. The information provided herein should not be used for diagnosis or treatment of any medical condition.
