what to do?

Hematuria is not a disease, but it is a precursor to many diseases. If hematuria occurs, no matter how much or how little, even if it does not hurt and occurs only once in a long time, you should be highly vigilant. Patients with blood in urine are advised to rest in bed and try to avoid strenuous activities. Once blood in the urine and related symptoms appear, you should go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations in time and receive symptomatic treatment based on the examination results.

What should I pay attention to?

Patients should develop the habit of drinking more water, preferably magnetized water. Actively treat urinary system diseases such as stones and inflammation. In daily life and work, the bladder should not be filled frequently. Urination should be done in time to reduce the time urine stays in the bladder. Urinate in time and do not hold urine. Quit drinking, do not eat irritating foods, and avoid eating chili peppers, dog meat, donkey meat, horse meat, coriander, onions, raw garlic, spicy foods, etc. At the same time, timely examination and treatment are required.
