What is the reason for red urine?

Although people's health concepts have been widely improved in modern society, more and more people attach great importance to routine physical examinations, but many friends are not familiar with the technical and professional terms that appear in routine physical examinations, and are not very clear about the results of routine physical examinations. For example, when men's urine is abnormal during physical examinations, many men don't know why. In fact, after many men find out some test results, they are also in a relatively confused state, not knowing why the urine is reddish. Let's take a look at the detailed introduction below.

There are several possible reasons why men's urine may be red:

1. Infectious diseases, pyelonephritis, acute cystitis, and urethritis.

2. Stones in the urinary and reproductive system, such as subacute urethral obstruction, and endoscopic urinary stones and gravel treatment.

3. Urinary system tumors, such as transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis, urethra, and bladder.

4. Trauma to the urinary and reproductive system, damage to kidney function, renal contusion, bladder, and urethral opening.

5. Some internal medicine diseases, such as coagulation function problems, long-term use of anticoagulants, blood diseases, etc.

6. Some of them are caused by dietary factors, such as taking a lot of red-heart dragon fruit and red-heart kiwi in a short period of time.

Reasons for abnormal urine test in men

Abnormal white blood cell count: If the white blood cell count in urine routine examination is too high, it indicates urinary tract infection, stones, tuberculosis, etc. If the patient has typical symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, inability to hold urine, and pain when urinating, it can basically be identified as urinary tract infection. For recurrent chronic urinary tract infection, it is best to do urine bacterial culture before taking medicine. According to the pathogens found and the results of drug sensitivity test, choose appropriate antibiotics for treatment.

Abnormal blood cells: Normally, there are no blood cells (or very few) in urine. If blood cells are found in urine routinely and exceed 3, it indicates urinary tract inflammation, stones, tumors, nephritis, etc. It should be noted that if women find blood cells in their urine, they should check whether they are in their menstrual period to avoid positive results.

Abnormal proteinuria: Proteinuria is a sign of nephritis and nephrotic syndrome. But don't be afraid, more serious urinary tract infections and excessive exercise can also cause proteinuria. The amount in the test report is related to the amount of protein in the urine. To confirm the diagnosis, it is also necessary to check the 24-hour urine protein quantitative to confirm which type of kidney disease it belongs to, and to distinguish between mild and severe conditions.
