Bloody or discolored urine after exercise can have various etiologies. Exercise-induced hematuria is a common, benign cause of discolored urine following strenuous exercise. Evaluation of patients with this complaint begins with a thorough history, a focused physical examination and a microscopic examination of the urine. Using a systematic approach, the physician can detect serious, treatable problems, and testing can be limited. Patients with exercise-induced hematuria can be reassured that the condition is benign and that they can return to full activity.
Physicians need to become committed to promoting the preventive benefits of regular physical activity. Practical strategies can help physicians efficiently and effectively incorporate exercise counseling into their practices. These strategies include regularly asking about leisure activity and linking the agenda of an office visit to the benefits of exercise. The physician and the patient should work together to formulate a mutually acceptable plan for the patient to adopt and maintain a healthful exercise lifestyle. In the same way that prescriptions are written for medications, a prescription can be given for an exercise plan suited to the individual patient.
