Haematuria Treatment
What Happens After a Diagnosis?
When the cause of the haematuria has been determined, the urologist will tailor a treatment plan that addresses the underlying condition and symptoms. Treatment is personalised based on the severity of the cause, the patient’s overall health and if the patient requires immediate medical attention or a longer-term plan.
