So, what is healthy urine like?
Six standards of healthy urine
0 1 time: 4~8 times
Healthy adults urinate about 4 to 8 times a day. If it is more than 8 times, and it is not caused by drinking water, it is called frequent urination.
Most frequent urination has nothing to do with the kidneys. Generally speaking, if frequent urination is accompanied by decreased urine volume, it may be a problem with the bladder or urethra; If the urine is frequent and the urine volume is normal, it is mostly a metabolic disease in internal medicine.
Urine volume: daily 1500ml.
The daily urine output of healthy adults is about 1500ml.
However, due to the different amount of drinking water, as long as the daily urine volume is above 400 ml and below 3000 ml, there is no big problem.
Color: light yellow, translucent
Healthy urine should be light yellow and bright. If you drink less water and sweat more, it may turn yellow like beer.
If the urine is pink, red, dark brown, light green, white and other abnormal colors, it may indicate the existence of diseases.
04 status: less foam, no precipitation.
If there are many bubbles in urine and they do not dissipate for a long time, you should go to the hospital for routine urine examination in time. If proteinuria occurs, it may be caused by kidney disease.
05 taste: light ammonia smell
Fresh urine often has only a faint smell. If it is very pungent ammonia or rotten eggs, it means that the urine has been suppressed for too long, or there are diseases such as cystitis and pyelonephritis.
If it smells like rotten apples, it may be diabetic ketoacidosis. Don't hesitate to go to the hospital.
06 nights: 1 time is the best
Urine 8 times a day, 7 times during the day, and urine 1 time at night is the best ratio.
If you don't drink a lot of water before going to bed, there is no urinary tract infection, and the number of nocturia is more than or equal to 2 times, it may be abnormal renal tubular concentration function or prostatic hyperplasia, so you should seek medical attention in time.
Pay attention to two kinds of abnormal urination. In addition to paying attention to the changes in urine, you should also be careful when the following two abnormal manifestations appear during urination-
0 1 dysuria
"Urodynia" refers to the pain of urethra, bladder and perineum when urinating. The degree of pain varies from light to heavy, often with burning sensation and sharp pain like a knife.
There are six main diseases that cause micturition pain:
Urinary tract infection: in addition to dysuria, it can also be accompanied by frequent urination and urgency.
Renal ureteral calculi: often accompanied by hematuria, nausea and vomiting, and severe pain in the back, lateral abdomen or lower abdomen.
Vaginitis: Sexual intercourse is often accompanied by vaginal itching, burning pain or redness, abnormal secretion and pain.
Pelvic inflammatory disease: often accompanied by abnormal vaginal or urethral secretions, irregular menstrual bleeding, lower abdominal pain, sexual pain, high fever and chills, nausea and vomiting.
Acute prostatitis: Its symptoms include pelvic pain, micturition pain and ejaculation pain.
Chronic prostatitis: its symptoms include persistent pain in genitals or pelvic cavity, heavy prostate area, pain, ejaculation pain and frequent urinary tract infections.
Bladder cancer: Bladder cancer can cause various urinary problems, including urethral pain.
02 blood in urine
When our urine is mixed with blood, it will appear the same color as "meat washing water", even like blood, and blood clots can be seen, which is often called "gross hematuria".
There are many reasons for hematuria, and the common ones are as follows-
Urinary calculi: often accompanied by low back pain and fever. This kind of pain is often unbearable, it will spread to the root of the thigh, you can feel the pain, and there will be clinical symptoms such as sweating and discoloration.
Cystitis: Symptoms such as hematuria, frequent urination and dysuria may occur. There will be a burning pain when urinating, and finally the pain will be more obvious. Bleeding often occurs at the end of urination or the whole urination stage.
Bladder cancer: Hematuria is mostly not accompanied by pain, but it can occur repeatedly. At first, the interval may be longer, but later it becomes more and more frequent.
Primary or secondary glomerular diseases: these diseases are often accompanied by eyelid edema, recurring and even spreading to other parts.
In addition to the above diseases, such as hereditary diseases and systemic diseases, hematuria may also be caused.
If there is gross hematuria, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible to find the cause.
If an inspection does not find a clear reason, you can check it again regularly.
Note: Red pitaya contains lycopene, which makes urine red after eating, which is a normal phenomenon.
