Question
Blood in urine. It’s making me cry when I pee. What’s going on? Is there a problem?
Answer
Based on the patient’s description, the possible situation is a urinary tract infection, particularly a lower urinary tract infection, such as cystitis. Women are more susceptible to infections due to their shorter urethra and the proximity of the anus to the urethral opening. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to the hygiene of their private parts and avoid spicy foods. It is advisable to visit a hospital for a urine test as soon as possible to confirm the diagnosis and receive appropriate treatment.
