Hi,

Suggestive of hematuria. Presence of red blood cells in the urine could be due stones in the kidney, ureter or urinary bladder. It may also occur due to diseases of the kidney, urinary bladder, urethra, prostate gland, and vigorous exercise.

You need to be properly evaluated by your doctor to rule out those diseases listed above by relevant tests such as an ultrasound or CT scan.

Once the cause is determined it can be treated effectively to reduce the number of RBCs in the urine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
