A PROBLEM SHARED
I recently noticed some blood in my urine. I’ve never had anything like this before and it’s freaking me out. I’m a healthy young man and look after myself – I only drink at weekends and have the occasional cigarette. What could it be?

Unexplained bleeding from anywhere is something you should take notice of and defi nitely have checked out. So, make sure to book an appointment with your GP as soon as possible.
One of the most common reasons for men to have blood in their urine is an infection somewhere along the urinary tract. You might also experience some soreness when you pee, feel the urge to pass urine a lot, have a temperature, or pain in your sides or lower back.
