Verrucous carcinoma
Urethrorrhagia is a medical condition characterized by bleeding from the urethra. This condition is often associated with other urinary tract disorders and can be a symptom of various diseases.
Causes[edit | edit source]
Urethrorrhagia can be caused by a number of conditions, including urinary tract infections, urethral stricture, urethral cancer, and trauma to the urethra. It can also be a symptom of sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea and chlamydia.
Symptoms[edit | edit source]
The primary symptom of urethrorrhagia is the presence of blood in the urine, also known as hematuria. Other symptoms can include pain during urination, frequent urination, and a feeling of urgency to urinate.
Diagnosis[edit | edit source]
Diagnosis of urethrorrhagia typically involves a physical examination and a review of the patient's medical history. Additional tests may include a urinalysis, blood tests, and imaging studies such as an ultrasound or CT scan.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
Treatment for urethrorrhagia depends on the underlying cause. Antibiotics may be prescribed for infections, while surgery may be necessary for conditions such as urethral stricture or cancer. In some cases, no treatment may be necessary if the bleeding is minor and resolves on its own.
