Why is it that I have urgent and painful urination and there is a little blood in it?

From a clinical perspective, there are many reasons for urinary urgency and pain, the most common of which are increased urine volume, such as drinking a lot of water, inflammatory stimulation, and non-inflammatory stimulation, such as urinary stones, reduced bladder capacity, and psychoneurological urinary frequency. In this case, in addition to actively looking for the cause, you should also pay more attention to your diet, mainly eat light food, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.

1. Causes of urinary urgency and pain

1. Increased urine volume: Under physiological conditions, such as drinking a lot of water, the urine volume will increase due to the increase in water intake, and the number of urinations will also increase, resulting in frequent urination. Under pathological conditions, such as some patients with diabetes and diabetes insipidus, they drink a lot of water, urinate a lot, and urinate frequently.

2. Inflammatory stimulation: Acute cystitis, tuberculous cystitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis, vulvitis, etc. can all cause frequent urination. Under the stimulation of inflammation, frequent urination, urgency and pain may occur at the same time, which is called urinary tract irritation syndrome.

3. Non-inflammatory irritation: such as urinary stones, foreign bodies, etc.

4. Reduced bladder capacity: such as bladder space-occupying lesions, compression from the enlarged uterus during pregnancy, tuberculous bladder contracture, or large bladder stones.

5. Psychoneural urinary frequency: You need to go to the hospital for further detailed examination to determine the cause and carry out targeted and effective treatment.

2. Dietary conditioning principles for urinary urgency and pain

1. Drink plenty of water, more than 1500-2000 ml per day. Drinking water can increase urine volume, which has a "flushing" and cleansing effect on the infected urinary tract.

2. Eat light, water-rich foods, and avoid spicy and irritating foods such as leeks, onions, garlic, pepper, and ginger.

3. Eat a variety of vegetables and fruits, because they are rich in vitamin C and carotene, which are beneficial to the subsidence of inflammation and the repair of urinary tract epithelial cells.

4. Choose foods that have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and promoting diuresis and relieving stranguria, such as chrysanthemum, shepherd's purse, amaranth, winter melon, etc.

5. Avoid eating warm foods, such as mutton, dog meat, rabbit meat and other greasy foods, so as not to aggravate inflammation.

6. Avoid smoking and drinking.
