Patient's question:
Urinating often accompanied by blood clots flowing out, it has been five days already. Is this a symptom of pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
Urine blood is often caused by excessive heat, but it can be divided into actual fire and deficiency fire. The former is often sudden, with bright red urine and a burning sensation in the urethra during urination. The latter is more common in chronic hematuria patients with prolonged illness, characterized by pale red urine and no burning sensation during urination. For the former, it is advisable to consume light foods that have the effects of clearing the heart, expelling fire, cooling blood, and applying topical remedies. For the latter, foods that nourish yin, reduce fire, boost qi, and stop bleeding are recommended. Regardless of whether the hematuria is due to actual or deficiency fire, it is best to avoid spicy and irritating foods, greasy and rich foods, warm and fatty meat and seafood, as well as shellfish and other allergenic foods.
