Why does urinary tract infection cause bleeding?

Urinary tract infection is a relatively common disease. After the infection, the urinary tract mucosa ruptures and hemorrhages , mainly because the infection causes certain damage to the urinary system mucosa, which causes some small blood vessels to rupture and cause bleeding. Generally speaking, the bleeding caused is not very serious. After most patients receive active anti-infective treatment, the bleeding symptoms will be gradually relieved. When the infection condition improves, the mucosa of the urinary system will be gradually repaired, and the bleeding will be improved accordingly. Therefore, for patients with bleeding caused by urinary tract infection, there is generally no need for special hemostatic treatment, only the active use of antibiotics for anti-infective treatment, the effect will be better.
