Does Peyronie's Cause Hematuria? Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee Answer Listener's Question on Blood in the Urine

Thanks for tuning in to the Armor Men’s Health Hour Podcast today, where we bring you the latest and greatest in urology care and the best urology humor out there.In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee answer a listener question about microscopic hematuria. He asks: "Is it normal for microscopic blood to show in your urine when you get older? If the answer is no, could it be caused by Peyronie's disease?" Dr. Mistry explains that while microscopic hematuria, or small amounts of blood in the urine, always warrants investigation by a urologist, it is often benign. Visible blood in the urine, however, is worrisome, and it should be addressed as soon as possible. If you see blood in your urine but aren't experiencing any pain, your chances of receiving a cancer diagnosis are as high as 30%. To answer the listener's second question, hematuria is generally not caused by Peyronie's disease. Peyronie's disease is characterized by the development of a bend in the penis and/or an hourglass deformity. This condition may be caused by the slowly accumulating effects of microtrauma to the penis sustained during intercourse with a less-than-fully-erect penis, or even by severe, acute trauma. Scar tissue can develop along the penis shaft, causing the often painful and distressing changes associated with this incredibly common condition. If you think you may have Peyronie's disease, please see a urologist! And if you see blood in your urine, don't delay in seeking treatment. If you enjoyed today's episode, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share us with a friend!
