Most of the urine will not turn red after eating watermelon, but if the body’s metabolic function is abnormal, it may appear red.
Most people eat watermelon because the body metabolism is normal, the pigment in watermelon can be broken down and absorbed by the body, so the urine does not turn red after eating watermelon.
It is only after eating red dragon fruit, beet, rifampicin and other drugs or foods that contain pigments that the urine may turn red. Causes of hematuria in the naked eye include urinary tract infections, urinary stones and urinary tract tumors, which need to be treated with medication and surgery under the guidance of a doctor.
Therefore, patients who appear to have red urine after eating watermelon should go to the hospital in a timely manner, conduct relevant examinations, clarify the cause of the disease and then actively treat it. If the urine routine examination found that the urine red blood cells negative, then do not worry too much, drink more water and diligent urination will improve.
