What to do if there is blood in women's urine

When a woman's urine turns yellow and is accompanied by stinging pain, it is very likely that she has some urinary system disease. Many problems can be discovered by observing urine, because urine can eliminate toxins from the body. Female friends in particular should often observe the color of their urine and whether they feel any pain when urinating. So, why does women’s urine appear yellow and contains blood?

The female physiological structure is very special, with the urethra and other reproductive organs adjacent to each other. It is easy to cause cross infection, so women's health care is very important.

Why is female urine yellow?

1. Drinking too little water

The color of urine can also vary depending on how much water you drink. If you drink more water and urinate more, the proportion of urochrome in your urine will be smaller and the color will be lighter. If you drink less water, the proportion of urochrome in your urine will be higher, and the color will appear yellow. However, if it is accompanied by physical discomfort, or if there is no significant relief after drinking water, you need to pay attention. You should go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible to ensure your physical and mental health.

2. Dietary reasons

If your urine is dark yellow, it may be because you have eaten a lot of carrots, papaya foods or rhubarb, vitamins and other chemicals, which can cause your urine to become dark yellow.

3. Fever or diarrhea

In patients with acute fever or diarrhea, the urine becomes concentrated and turns yellow because water is excreted in sweat or feces.

4. Liver or gallbladder disease

When liver or gallbladder disease occurs, bile from the urethra will make the urine dark yellow. The urine of hepatitis patients will also appear tea-colored.

5. Drug effects

The color of urine is often affected by food and medicine. For example, when taking vitamin B, rifampicin and other drugs, the color of urine will become darker. It will naturally improve after stopping the medication, so there is no need to worry.

6. Urethritis

Can cause urine color to change. Yellow urine may also be caused by urethritis. The gonococci, chlamydia and mycoplasma that cause urethritis are among the pathogens that cause infertility.

Reasons why women's urine is yellow and has an odor

1. When you eat garlic, onions or medicines with special smells, your urine may have the special smell of these substances.

2. The ammonia smell indicates that the urine has been broken down in the body and is a sign of cystitis or urinary retention.

3. Fecal odor: Patients with bladder and colon dysfunction often have a fecal odor in their urine.

4. The apple scent is often seen in diabetic acidosis or hunger. This kind of urine can often attract ants to gather.

5. The fishy smell of corruption is common in cystitis and suppurative pyelitis.

How to tell your health from the color of your urine

Normal human urine is light yellow, but the color varies depending on drinking, sweating and the amount of activity. When the human body's metabolism is abnormal or suffers from a certain disease, the color of the urine will show special changes. Therefore, changes in urine color have very important diagnostic value.

1. Colorless urine: It may be a sign of diabetes, chronic interstitial nephritis, or diabetes insipidus. If it is not caused by drinking too much water, you should be careful to identify it.

2. White urine: It looks like milk, sometimes mixed with white clots or blood, indicating that there is chyle in the urine, which comes from filariasis or blockage of the kidneys or lymphatic vessels.

3. Soy sauce urine: It is caused by the massive destruction of red blood cells in the urine. It may also be acute nephritis, acute icteric hepatitis and hemolytic jaundice.

4. Red urine: It indicates that there may be an excess of red blood cells in the urine, also known as "hematuria", which is mostly caused by kidney disease, stones, prostatitis, bladder tumors, etc. If severe low back pain occurs accompanied by hematuria, it is most likely caused by stones, such as kidney stones, ureteral stones, etc.

5. Salt urine: It often occurs in children in winter. The urine is rice-soup-like and contains a large amount of phosphate or urinary hydrochloric acid. It is easy to precipitate after being left. If the urine is placed in a bottle and heated, it will immediately become clear. Salt urine is a normal physiological phenomenon. It can be cured without medication, the key is to drink more boiled water.

6. Blue urine: can be seen in cholera, typhus, primary hypercalcemia, and vitamin D poisoning. But this color of urine is mostly related to medication, not caused by disease. It may occur after taking the diuretic triamterene, injecting methylene blue, or taking methylene blue, indigo carmine, creosote, or salicylic acid. It will disappear upon stopping the medication. This blue urine caused by medication is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry too much.

7. Green urine: occurs when Pseudomonas aeruginosa grows in the urine, or when bilirubinuria is left for too long and oxidized into biliverdin.

8. Black urine: Black urine is relatively rare and often occurs in patients with acute intravascular hemolysis, such as patients with malignant malaria. It is medically known as blackwater fever, which is one of the most serious complications of malignant malaria.

Of course, foods can sometimes change urine color, so don't panic. Experts warn that if the properties and color of your urine change and last for a long time, and it is difficult to find the answer from the food or medicine you take, it is necessary to go to the hospital to find out the specific cause.

In addition to using the color of urine to judge the health of the body, you can also use other symptoms to judge the health of urine. So how do you judge whether your urine is healthy? Just keep reading and you’ll find out.

There are four indicators to judge the health of urine

Experts say that to judge whether a person's urination is healthy, it means that urination is effortless, the person can hold his urine, and the urine is light yellow and transparent. If the following four symptoms appear for a long time, you should pay attention to health problems.

1. Frequent urination and polyuria

If the frequency of urination exceeds 8 times and is not caused by drinking too much water, it is called frequent urination. Urology expert Yang Yong said: "The increase in urination frequency and the decrease in urine volume each time may be due to the decline in the bladder's urine storage function.

If the frequency of urination increases but the amount of urine does not decrease, it is polyuria, which may be due to problems with the body's metabolic function, such as diabetes. "If frequent urination is accompanied by discomfort such as urgency and pain, you should be alert to whether you have a urinary tract infection.

2. Painful urination

It refers to pain or burning sensation in the suprapubic area, perineum and urethra when urinating.

3. Urinating time becomes longer and continuity is poor

Significantly longer urination time, poor continuity, a dripping feeling, difficulty urinating, weak urine, and increased frequency of nocturnal urination in middle-aged and elderly men are all signs of prostate disease.

4. Urine is foamy and has a strange smell

When urinating, if you find that there is more foam in the toilet, especially the first urine in the morning, it may be caused by kidney disease. You should go to the hospital for a routine urine test to see if there is more protein in the urine. If your urine smells like rotten apple, it could be a sign of diabetes.

If these four conditions occur at the same time, it is most likely urethritis. These symptoms are common in many urinary system diseases and should be treated with caution, especially if combined with other conditions such as hematuria, polydipsia, thin urine stream, etc. You should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.

Should women use paper to wipe after urinating?

Due to the special physiological characteristics of women, the anus, vagina and urethra are concentrated and have different excretion functions. Infection may occur if not cleaned properly. According to statistics from the World Health Organization, unclean lower body causes about 50%-60% of female urinary and reproductive tract inflammation, and the most effective way to prevent it is proper cleaning.

The skin of the female private parts has deeper and more wrinkles. It must be cleaned promptly after each urination and defecation to avoid irritating the skin, causing local skin itching, or aggravating hemorrhoids. Experts remind women that, especially after urinating, if they do not wipe dry in time, the residual urine will make the underwear very damp, providing a "suitable" breeding environment for various bacteria, thereby increasing the risk of infection of the fragile urinary tract and reproductive system. In addition, be sure to wipe from front to back.

In addition, there is a lot of knowledge in choosing the material of paper to wipe the private parts. Experts believe that wet wipes are indeed more helpful in removing dirt and are suitable for wiping the anus after defecation, but it is not recommended to wipe the urethra. Nowadays, many wet wipes are added with drugs or antiseptic chemical ingredients, which will firstly destroy the natural ecology of the vagina; secondly, after wiping with wet wipes, there will still be the problem of moisture near the urethra, which is far less safe than ordinary toilet paper.

The above explains why women's urine is very yellow and has blood in the stool. If the urine is other colors, it may also be due to the above reasons. If the color is too yellow, it is not necessarily caused by disease, but the disease factor cannot be ruled out. Therefore, if you cannot determine the cause of yellow blood in your stool or are not sure, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for examination in time and do not miss any suspected illness.
