Symptoms Of Hemophilia

Blood In Urine Or Stool

Blood in the urine or stool can occur for many reasons, including hemophilia. If you have pink, red, or brown urine, contact your physician for further testing and treatment, as you may be bleeding internally. Gross hematuria occurs when a person can see the blood when they urinate. Microscopic hematuria is when the blood in the urine can only be seen through a microscope.

If you have specks of blood in your urine, see your doctor. They will do a medical history, physical exam, urinalysis, and may also perform other tests to determine the source of blood.

You may have a hard time seeing blood in the stool. Sometimes a test is necessary to discover whether or not you have blood in your stool. But if you have blood on the toilet paper after you have a bowel movement or see a black, tarry substance in your stool, you may be bleeding internally. Your healthcare provider will do some tests to help.
