Hematuria can be classified according to visibility, anatomical origin, and timing of blood during urination. [1] [6]In terms of visibility, hematuria can be visible to the naked eye (termed "gross hematuria") and may appear red or brown (sometimes referred to as tea-colored), or it can be microscopic (i.e. not visible but detected with a microscope or laboratory test).
A number of medications can be used which need to be tailored to each person's needs and types of symptoms (according to UPOINTS, S = sexual: e.g. erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory dysfunction, postorgasmic pain).

A 2018 Cochrane review of studies on men over 60 with moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms analyzed the impacts of phosphodiesterase inhibitors (PDE) in comparison to other drugs. [90] These drugs may improve urinary symptoms slightly and reduce urinary bother but may also cause more side effects compared to placebo.
Medications that commonly cause this problem include the chemotherapeutic agent cyclophosphamide with rates of 2–40%. [59] Eosinophilic cystitis is a rare condition where eosinophiles are present in the bladder wall. [60] Signs and symptoms are similar to a bladder infection. [60]
