Hematuria is a condition that is characterized by the presence of red blood cells in the urine and is usually a symptom of some other underlying medical health condition. It is divided into categories mainly microscopic and gross hematuria. Gross hematuria refers to a condition where the red blood cells can be seen with the naked eye whereas their presence can be detected only under a microscope in microscopic hematuria. In case of microscopic hematuria, the amount of blood that is present in the urine is very little and so does not result in any change in the color of the urine. This therefore is not a cause for worry as it can be seen even in healthy people but may be indicating something serious in a few cases. Hematuria causes could range from a number of reasons and male urinary tract infection could be one of them. It could also be the result of the presence of a kidney stone, enlargement of the prostrate or a male bladder infection. Hematuria is a very common symptom for prostrate cancer and thus should not be neglected as it could prove fatal and thus, hematuria treatment is a must.
Treatment for this condition depends primarily on the reason for getting it in the first place. If hematuria is the result of a urinary tract infection then, you can take an eight ounce glass of water, add half a teaspoon of baking soda to it and have this regularly. Cranberry juice is said to be an excellent remedy to treat bladder infections in men as it prevents bacteria from clinging on to the walls of the bladder or parts of the urinary tract. However, you need to ensure that the juice is 100 percent natural and is not diluted with anything else as it will not have the desired effect. Bitter gourd is said to very effective in treating hematuria and thus, should be introduced in your everyday diet. Similarly, you can also eat drumsticks and green bananas as they are very helpful. You can even have sugar cane juice that has white pumpkin mixed in it as that is said to aid speedier recovery and pomegranate juice is also very good for the same. You should also have spinach juice that is mixed with coconut water and have a juice made of radish leaves everyday for about two weeks. You need to discourage all habits like smoking and drinking as these habits will worsen your condition.
