Blood in urine and painful urination may be symptoms of serious urological disorders. Pain may manifest before, during, or after urinating, and in each case there may be a harmless cause and a harmful cause. Making sure any seriously harmful disorder is found immediately is the order of business here at Columbia University Division of Urology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach Florida.

Blood in urine and painful urination may be indicative of advanced prostate cancer or a bladder infection.

They will then work to alleviate the cause of your pain to bring you back to your proper health.

Our clients come to get the best Miami urologists for ease of mind, the newest technology, and the Ivy League standard of care instituted by the Columbia University Division of Urology. All the modalities of medical care will be available, if so needed.

Pain when urinating should not be ignored or self diagnosed. The following is a list of urinary problems that may be the cause of your painful urination.

• Bladder infection
• Kidney stone
• Prostatitis
• Kidney infection
• Prostate enlargement
• Herpes
• Prostate cancer
• Orchitis (inflammation of the testes)
• Urethral stricture
• Bladder cancer
• Kidney cancer
• End stage renal disease

As you can see from our abbreviated list, painful urination can come from your kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, prostate, and genitals. Trying to ignore the pain and hoping it will go away or self diagnosing (guessing) may only give the disorder more time to advance.

Our urologists will listen to your description of pain and any other symptoms that may accompany it such as blood in urine, urinary frequency, back pain, or burning urination. You will be asked for a urine sample and possibly an ultrasound, x-ray, or blood sample. If further diagnostics are needed after those results come in, you will be scheduled for a follow up visit and a consultation to determine if any medical intervention is needed for your specific diagnosis.

Blood in urine with painful urination may be symptoms of kidney stones, which when diagnosed properly will show where the kidney stone is, how big it is and the shape of the stone or stones. Once this information is obtained either ESWL, Holmium laser, or simply waiting to see if you naturally pass it out of your urinary tract would be your options.
