Colon Cancer Answer A25

Blood may originate from the urinary tract if seen during urination. Blood in urine (haematouria) may be result of many diseases from the most minor (inflammation) to the most severe (tumors). Since you are a WOMAN, it is possible that blood may also originate from the genital tract. To find out the real reason for bleeding, you could visit both a gynecologist and a urologist.
