Help, there’s blood in my pee!


Although you may not be able to see the blood in your urine, its presence, when detected through a test, should be checked out in case it is a symptom of a serious problem. — AFP

Blood in your urine is called haematuria (“haema” means blood and “uria” means urine).

It is fairly common, but you may not always notice it because there may not be enough red blood cells to turn your urine red.
