Next Steps
Follow-up
Follow-up is very important if you have blood in your urine.
- Typically, you will go back to your health-care provider in one to two weeks for a repeat analysis of your urine to make sure the hematuria has cleared up.
- If bloody urine continues, you might need further testing or need to see a specialist (urologist).
- You should drink plenty of water and take all medications as recommended if the hematuria is to go away.
Men older than 50 years of age for whom no definite cause is found should have yearly screening for prostate cancer.
