Women have their periods every month, so it is important to observe them carefully. If any abnormalities are found during menstruation, such as abnormal bleeding volume or color, they should be promptly adjusted. When suffering from certain diseases, symptoms of hematuria may occur. So, how to distinguish between hematuria and menstruation?
It is easy to distinguish between hematuria and menstruation. Urine is discharged from the urethra, and when symptoms of hematuria occur, the color may be lighter due to the mixing of blood and urine. The color of menstruation is relatively dark, usually appearing as a dark red color, and may also be accompanied by blood clots.
Menstruation is expelled from the vagina and has a certain regularity. The symptoms of hematuria are usually sudden and irregular. In addition, hematuria is generally caused by urinary system diseases, so when urinating, there are usually other abnormal symptoms such as painful urination, frequent urination, and urgency.
There are many factors that can cause hematuria, such as urinary stones, urinary tract infections, and cystitis, and when suffering from kidney disease, it is also easy to cause symptoms of hematuria. So when blood is found in urine, it is necessary to be vigilant. If it is caused by urinary tract diseases, it is relatively easy to treat. If it is caused by kidney disease, the problem is more serious. So immediate examination is necessary for timely treatment after diagnosis.
