Seeing blood in your urine (hematuria) requires medical attention. While often due to infections or kidney stones, it needs investigation to rule out other potential causes. A cystoscopy is a common procedure where a thin, flexible camera is gently inserted to look inside your bladder and urethra, helping your doctor find the source of the bleeding and determine the best next steps. Always discuss any blood in your urine with your healthcare provider promptly.
