If a woman has urinary tract infection and has blood in her urine, especially if the blood in her urine can be seen with the naked eye, she must ensure absolute bed rest. If stones appear in the urinary system, causing hematuria and accompanied by renal colic, the patient can jump on the spot. This will allow the urinary stones to be expelled from the body through up and down vibrations, and the blood in the urine and pain will be alleviated or even disappear.

Patients with urinary tract infection and hematuria must drink plenty of water and eat more watermelon. This will allow a large amount of urine to be excreted from the body and will not cause blockage of the urinary tract due to bleeding.

If the urinary tract infection causes hematuria and the bleeding site can be determined, the patient can use ice cubes or cold towels to apply cold compresses to the corresponding area, which can have a good hemostatic effect. Generally speaking, the bleeding sites of hematuria may be the urethra, kidneys, and bladder.

Patients with urinary tract infection and hematuria must pay special attention not to eat irritating foods, such as white sugar, mustard, chili peppers, leeks, etc. They should also eat less fatty and barbecued foods. They can eat more blood-cooling and hemostatic foods, such as winter melon, watermelon, water chestnuts, persimmons, etc.

What should women do if they have urinary tract infection and blood in their urine? From the above description, we can know that female urinary tract infection and hematuria is a relatively serious condition. Once such a situation occurs, you must seek medical attention in time and let the doctor help with diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, you also need to pay more attention in your life to ensure that you can get better as soon as possible. Don't be careless and miss the opportunity for treatment.

What are the causes of urinary tract infections?

1. Due to the special physiological structure of women, women are more likely to suffer from urinary tract infections than men. The urethra of women is shorter and wider than that of men, which is easy to breed bacteria and easily lead to the invasion of pathogenic bacteria. In addition, the urethral opening of women is close to the vagina and anus, which increases the incidence of urinary tract infections. Therefore, women are more susceptible to urinary tract infections.

2. Drinking too little water in life will make the body too tired. Frequent holding of urine will cause urinary tract infection and increase the incidence of urinary tract infection. Women should pay attention to avoid excessive physical fatigue, and pay attention to replenishing water in time and develop the habit of drinking water frequently. Drinking more water can promote urination, and frequent urination can promote the excretion of pathogenic bacteria in the body.

3. Urinary tract infection may be caused by urinary tract stones. Urinary tract stones can cause obstructed urine flow, which can easily breed bacteria and affect the health of women's bladders. It can easily lead to urinary tract infection. Diabetic patients are prone to urinary tract infection. Diabetic patients should clean their private parts in time after urinating.

Therefore, if you find bleeding due to urinary tract infection, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time, and then take appropriate preventive measures, otherwise the condition will become more and more serious.
