Is blood in the urine something to be concerned about? Or it will simply go away on its own.
The number one thing to rule out is the most common cause— a bladder infection with bacteria. Millions of women get them and are treated successfully.
The blood is the visible part you can see with your eyes— but there is also bacteria and white cells fighting the bacteria. You may have a bacterial infection from restricted emptying of the bladder from an enlarged prostate.
Women may have frequent bladder infections because they only have 3 inches of urethra from the bladder. Bacteria are avid swimmers, sitting in a car or plane for long distances without potty breaks and fluids is another cause.
The other cause are kidney stones, infections, and genetics (polycystic kidneys) and other renal diseases.
You could possibly have a kidney stone or you might be diabetic and not know it. So, You need to see your doctor. With some tests, they can tell if you have a kidney stone or another problem. they will be able to know just why you are urinating blood. If you have a kidney stone or prostate you should see a urologist. If a kidney stone is found It maybe in your ureter which might need to be removed. If you have diabetes then your doctor will be able to handle your care. To help yourself some drinks dehydrate you. Stop drinking anything with caffeine; coffee, tea, soda and energy drinks which dehydrate you. When you are dehydrated your urine will become concentrated and will leave minerals behind in your kidneys to form kidney stones.
Reduce your salt intake because it will bind with the other minerals and form sharp edged kidney stones like knives with excruciating pains. Salt also raise your blood pressure and will cause edema. Which will damage your kidneys.
Drink 8 glasses of water every day to flush out the minerals before they form kidney stones. Ice cold water tastes best. Good Luck
