Passing blood in urine (hematuria) along with frequent urge to urinate is most commonly suggestive of a urinary tract infection (UTI), even if there is no burning sensation. Sometimes UTIs can present mainly with urgency and blood in urine without severe pain. Since you had unprotected intercourse recently, we should also consider the possibility of a sexually transmitted infection (STI) or urethral irritation. Other causes like
kidney stones or bladder inflammation are also possible, though absence of back pain makes stones less likely.
However, visible blood in urine should always be evaluated properly and not ignored.
Next Steps
• Get a urine routine examination and urine culture as soon as possible.
• Do a urine
pregnancy test (since there was unprotected intercourse).
• Consult a doctor/gynecologist for examination.
• If infection is confirmed, start antibiotics as prescribed (do not self-medicate).
Seek urgent medical care if you develop fever, lower abdominal pain, back pain, vomiting, dizziness, or heavy bleeding.
Health Tips
• Continue drinking adequate water.
• Avoid delaying urination.
• Avoid sexual intercourse until evaluated.
• Do not start antibiotics without testing, as it may mask the diagnosis.
Visible blood in urine is not normal and needs proper medical evaluation within 24 hours.
