Frequently asked questions

Is painless blood in urine serious?

Painless visible blood in the urine must always be investigated, as it can be an early sign of a bladder or kidney tumour — even when it happens only once.

Can a UTI cause blood in urine?

Yes — infections commonly cause blood and burning. But because other causes exist, a test and sometimes further checks are done to be sure.
