The treatment for hematuria needs to be selected according to the type of hematuria and includes the following options:
1. Urinary tract infections: such as urinary tract infection, cystitis, etc., where inflammation may cause damage to the urethral mucosa, resulting in bleeding. Antibacterial medications, such as Norfloxacin Capsules or Levofloxacin Hydrochloride Capsules, may be used under a doctor's instructions.
2. Stones: such as urethral stones, bladder stones, etc., where moving stones may scratch the mucous membrane of the urinary tract, causing hematuria. Hematuria caused by stones may require surgical treatment, such as endoscopic lithotripsy or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.
3. Examinations required for hematuria: tests such as urinalysis, urine culture, ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, urography, and cystoscopy may be necessary to determine the underlying cause. Treatment depends on the specific cause and may include antibiotic therapy, hemostasis, surgery, or other targeted treatments.
4. Glomerulonephritis: glomerular damage accompanied by inflammation may allow red blood cells from the plasma to enter the urine. Patients may take medications such as Cyclophosphamide Tablets or Hydrochlorothiazide Tablets under a doctor's guidance.
