Brief Answer: Can be due to stone or bladder malignancy. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for trusting us with your health concern. Blood in the urine can come from any condition that results in infection, inflammation, or injury to the urinary system. Typically, visible blood indicates damage to the lower tract (ureters, bladder, or urethra). But this is not always the case. It can be related to a bladder malignancy. The other common causes are kidney stones or urinary tract infections. Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have. Wishing you good health.
