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 have a 7x5 mm kidney stone stuck in my left VUJ. Is there a chance it can pass on its own with just water and meds or will I need surgery?
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I've had a slow urine flow since childhood and was recently diagnosed with a high bladder neck or bladder outlet obstruction. The doctor said surgery isn't suitable for me right now. Are there any permanent treatment options in ayurveda or homeopathy that could help without needing surgery?
A bladder neck obstruction may occur at birth due to connective tissue or muscle issues. This can cause a severe obstruction of the upper urinary tract and can lead to kidney malfunction, which can sometimes be fatal Homeopathy may offer some relief for the symptoms of bladder outlet syndrome (BOO), but it is not a cure for the underlying condition. While homeopathy can be helpful in managing symptoms like frequent urination and discomfort associated with bladder infections (cystitis), it cannot address the physical blockage or structural issues causing BOO
