Frequently Asked Questions
How can I prevent kidney stones?
Drinking enough water to keep your urine pale is the most important step. Cutting down on salt and very high-protein diets also helps. If you have had a stone before, ask whether it was tested, because prevention advice depends on the type.
Why do I keep getting urine infections?
Repeat infections are common, especially in women. Drinking enough water, not holding urine for long, and passing urine after sex can help. If you get three or more infections a year, see a doctor to look for a cause.
Is getting up at night to pass urine normal?
Once a night is common, especially as you get older. Needing to go more often can be due to drinking late in the evening, an enlarged prostate, an overactive bladder or diabetes, and is worth discussing with a doctor.
Is blood in the urine always serious?
Not always; an infection or a stone can cause it. But it should always be checked, even if it happens only once and does not hurt, because sometimes it is the first sign of something that needs early treatment.
