Dehydration and Hematuria
Lack of water is not a direct cause of blood in urine (hematuria). However, dehydration can lead to concentrated urine, potentially irritating the urinary tract or contributing to kidney stone formation. -
Potential Causes
- Kidney Stones: Dehydration can promote stone formation, which may cause hematuria.
- Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Concentrated urine can irritate the urinary tract, increasing infection risk.
-
Recommendations
a. Stay Hydrated: Drink adequate water to maintain clear urine.
b. Seek Medical Evaluation: Consult a healthcare professional to identify the cause of hematuria.
c. Avoid Self-Diagnosis: Prompt medical assessment is crucial for appropriate treatment. -
Conclusion
While dehydration can exacerbate certain conditions, it is not a direct cause of blood in urine. Professional evaluation is essential to determine the underlying issue.

View allIs it possible to pass a 6mm kidney stone without needing surgery doc I'm really worried about this and want to know my options
Around 90% of small kidney stones (smaller than 6 mm) and 60% of large stones (larger than 6 mm) pass on their own. If you have a large kidney stone or one that's blocking the flow of pee, you'll need to have a procedure to break up and/or remove it

I'm experiencing a problem where I ejaculate too quickly during sex, and then when I try to go for a second round, I'm not able to continue. This wasn't an issue earlier in my marriage. I'm feeling a bit worried and confused about where to go for help. Should I see a urologist or a sexologist, or maybe consider ayurvedic treatments for this? What would be the best option?
-It's common to face such issues due to stress or lifestyle changes. You can consult a urologist or a sexual health specialist for evaluation and treatment options. Ayurveda can also help improve stamina and address concerns naturally.
