Bladder and urinary tract
The bladder is a hollow muscle that stores urine, a waste product that the body excretes from the kidneys. Urine is produced in the kidneys, filtered from the blood, and then sent to the bladder through the ureters. When the bladder is full, it signals the brain that we need to urinate. Bladder function is important for the body to maintain proper fluid balance and get rid of waste products. When this does not work, you should contact a urologist.
About bladder and urinary tract
The bladder is a hollow muscle that stores urine, a waste product that the body excretes from the kidneys. Urine is produced in the kidneys, filtered from the blood, and then sent to the bladder through the ureters.
Visible blood in the urine is often a sign of potential urinary tract problems or disease. It is therefore important to see an experienced urologist for examination and advice.
Our kidneys play a central role in filtering waste and fluid from the blood to produce urine. Urine passes from the kidneys via the ureters to the bladder, before leaving the body through the urethra. Blood in the urine can therefore originate from different parts of the urinary system. There are several possible causes of blood in the urine. Among other things, it can indicate urinary tract infection, possible cancer, medication use, kidney infection or an enlarged prostate.
If you notice blood in your urine, contact us or book a consultation with one of our urologists.
