Question

Rewrite according to the ask column My child is three years old and has had a small amount of blood in their urine for over a year. They are doing well, with no pain or itching, eating normally, and appear healthy. I have had them checked four times this year, and there is still a small amount of blood. What could be the cause? How should I check for it?

Answer

Rewrite according to the answer column If a child has recurrent hematuria and external force-induced urethral injury is ruled out, it should be taken seriously as a potential issue with the urinary system. The bladder, kidneys, and other organs should be examined. This should raise your concern. There are many possible causes for blood in the urine, such as kidney stones, urinary tract infections, and more. It is recommended that you consult a regular hospital for examination and diagnosis to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment to avoid unnecessary trouble.
