Hematuria means red blood cells in the urine, whether visible (pink, red or brown urine) or microscopic (found only on testing). Causes range from harmless to important — infection, stones, an enlarged prostate, or, less commonly, a bladder or kidney tumour.
Blood in the urine — visible or found on a test — should always be checked, even once and even if painless. Smile Urology in Seomyeon, Busan runs a complete same-visit work-up (urinalysis, ultrasound, X-ray and cystoscopy where needed) to find the cause.

Because the list includes serious causes, painless visible blood in particular should never be ignored. Our job is to find the source efficiently and give you a clear answer.
Accurate testing guides accurate care. Many patients are assessed and started on treatment the same day.
Confirms true hematuria and looks for infection and clues to the source.
Screens for stones, masses and obstruction without radiation.
Helps detect stones and assess the urinary tract.
A thin scope inspects the bladder lining directly — the key test to exclude a bladder tumour in higher-risk patients.
Once the source is clear, treatment follows — infection, stones or BPH.
In smokers, older patients and painless visible bleeding, cystoscopy and imaging specifically rule out malignancy.
If a tumour or kidney disease is found, we refer immediately with English records.
Microscopic hematuria with no clear cause is monitored rather than ignored.
Blood in the urine is worked up completely and promptly here rather than dismissed, with cystoscopy added when the risk profile warrants it. The same-day capability means most causes can be identified in one visit, and English records support onward care if referral is needed.
Yes. A single episode of visible, painless blood in the urine still warrants evaluation, because some serious causes bleed intermittently.
It is brief and done with local anesthetic gel; most patients feel pressure rather than pain, and it is the most reliable way to inspect the bladder.
Often yes — urinalysis, ultrasound and X-ray are same-visit; cystoscopy is added when indicated.
We explain it clearly and arrange urgent referral with your imaging and records in English.
