Patient's question:
At first, I just had the symptoms of urgency, frequent urination, and painful urination. Then I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said I had a urinary tract infection with 4+ red blood cells and 3+ white blood cells. The doctor recommended that I take medication, but it didn't improve, so he suggested I get an IV drip. I started getting IV drips, but after two days, the pain went away, but there was still blood in my urine. Previously, the blood in my urine was not visible to the naked eye, but now the blood in my urine is clearly visible. My period just ended two weeks ago. What could be the reason?Patient Age: 22
Detailed Condition and Purpose of Consultation: I want to consult about why my urine previously only contained red blood cells, but now it contains visible blood.
Doctor's answer:
Urinary tract infection.The faint red urine observed with the naked eye is not necessarily blood; it could also be the color of medication.
You should still review a urinalysis.
As everyone knows, urinary tract infections can cause significant harm to patients, so it’s important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary habits, with a focus on light and non-irritating foods. Avoid spicy foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
