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 a bit concerned because this is my first time trying to have penetrative sex with my girlfriend, and I couldn't maintain an erection after getting one during foreplay. Could this be related to my masturbation habit? I've been doing it almost daily for about 10 years, so I'm wondering if that might affect things. What do you think?
It's common to experience difficulty maintaining an erection during first-time penetrative sex due to nerves or anxiety. Masturbation, especially if done frequently, can sometimes affect sensitivity or performance, but it's usually not the main cause. If this continues, consider talking to a healthcare professional to address any underlying concerns and reduce anxiety.
