What Causes Blood In Urine And Painful Urination In An Elderly Woman?
I am a 54 woman, noticed when I wiped after urinating that there was a tinge of blood on tissue. I also noticed that I have pressure when urinating & I had a episode where I started to urinate while I was sleeping. I am not having any other pain or any other symptoms. Could this be a UTI?

Blood in urine is called hematuria. Causes of hematuria can range from benign conditions such as urinary tract infection to serious conditions such as bladder cancer, stones, vasculitis or bleeding diasthesis.
