What is the correct term for the bleeding condition from the urethra?

The condition characterized by bleeding from the urethra is termed "urethroorrhagia." However, "hematuria" specifically refers to the presence of blood in the urine rather than bleeding specifically from the urethra. "Urethroorrhagia" is the term that directly addresses bleeding originating from the urethra itself.

Understanding the specific definitions of these medical terms is key. "Urethrocephalus" does not pertain to bleeding and is actually not a recognized medical condition related to the urinary system. "Urethrostenosis" refers to a narrowing of the urethra, which can obstruct urine flow but does not indicate a bleeding condition.

For clarity, the correct term for bleeding from the urethra is "urethroorrhagia," while hematuria indicates blood in the urine regardless of the source, making it the more general term but not the precise term for urethral bleeding.
