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.

I've been dealing with UTI issues again. I had one back in November 2016 and took norflox then, and it cleared up. This time, the problem started on April 3rd, and I took norflox for 5 days along with citralka syrup. It got better, but then it came back after just 2 days. Now it's continuing every day. What should I do? Is there something different I should try or be concerned about?
Recurring UTI symptoms despite antibiotic treatment, including norflox, suggest a possible underlying issue, such as antibiotic resistance, incomplete treatment, or an underlying anatomical or functional abnormality; consider consulting a urologist

I've been having to pee every 15 minutes and it feels like my bladder isn't emptying completely. My diabetes and UTI tests came back normal could this still be a urinary tract issue or something more serious that might need surgery?
Yes, frequent urination with a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, even with normal diabetes and UTI test results, can still be a urinary tract issue. It could be a sign of overactive bladder, interstitial cystitis, or other problems, some of which might require surgical intervention.
