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.

View allI'm really concerned about my penis size. I'm 19, and my current size is about 5 inches, but I would like it to be around 8 or 9 inches, both in length and width. I'm quite active and physically fit, but I find that after masturbating, which I do a couple of times a day, I feel really tired. I also do at least an hour of exercise every morning. Are there any exercises or diets that can help me increase my penis size and improve my sperm-holding capacity? Would love some guidance on this.

Alpha-blocker drug therapy is usually the first step in treating bladder neck obstruction. Alpha-blockers, such as tamsulosin or alfuzosin, can help to relax the bladder muscles. A second type of medication, 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, may also be prescribed to treat bladder neck obstruction.
