Treatment

Once your doctor determines the cause of the hematuria treatment may consist of:

• Antibiotics (for urinary tract infections)
• Medications to shrink an enlarged prostate
• Shock treatment (lithotripsy) to break up a bladder or kidney stone
• Cystoscopy/Ureteroscopy with biopsy for removal of tissue and suspicious lesions for diagnosis and to discern if any additional treatments are warranted

If a serious underlying condition is causing the hematuria, additional testing and treatment will be directed by a urologist.
