Blood in the urine of women

According to experts, blood in the urine of women can be present as a result of the development of diseases, divided into three groups: glomerular and non-glomerular kidney diseases, pathologies that do not have to the kidney relationship.

Blood in the urine of women, not accompanied by painful sensations in some cases, indicates the development of neoplasms in the genitourinary system. It should be noted that this pathology is more often detected in men. At the same time, the aging process is the provoking factor in the development of neoplasms.

In many cases, red urine is not yet a sign that there is blood in it. Changes in color may be caused by certain medications. For example, in many laxatives phenolphthalein is present. In the orange color, urine can be pyridium, contained in drugs prescribed for painful urination, or "Rifampin" - an antibiotic used in the treatment of tuberculosis.

Manifestations of this pathology of the acute course is the tumor of some parts of the body, for example, feet, face, fingers. If all these symptoms are accompanied by joint pain, then there is another autoimmune disease - lupus erythematosus.
