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'm Jonas Markus, and I'm 17 years old. Lately, I've been having this weird health issue that I'm hoping you can help with. Every morning, my pee is orange and it burns. But after the morning, it goes back to being yellow and doesn't burn at all. Plus, I'm feeling some discomfort in my lower abdomen, just above my genitals. When I press on my lower abdomen, it seems like theres a vibration, kind of like gases moving around. Is this normal, or could it be an infection?
That could be due to dehydration or it could be UTI also,take Cital UTI syrup 10ml three times in a day for 5 days and consume more water,if its still bothering you visit physician for evaluation and appropriate management.
