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 really concerned because it feels like my penis has lost all sensitivity and there's no erection at all. It suddenly seems like there's no blood flow, and honestly, it's like it's dead.

I'm just curious about how often my wife and I can have sex in a month without causing any negative effects on our bodies now or in the future. I want to make sure we're both staying healthy, so how frequently is considered safe?

Having a healthy sexual relationship with your partner is important for overall well-being. There is no specific number of times that is considered ideal for sexual activity in a month as it varies for each couple. It is important to listen to your body and communicate openly with your partner to ensure that both of you are comfortable and enjoying the intimacy. As long as both partners are consenting and comfortable, there is no set limit on how many times you can engage in sexual activity in a month.
