My urine is very red like blood. Kindly let me know what has caused this and what to do.

When a person does not take enough fluids (especially water) in relation to what he loses through sweating, vomiting or due to a feverish condition or diarrhoea, then that person’s urine may appear reddish. Also, when a person is on some medications, these may appear in the urine in a reddish form. Once you have been able to check that you don’t have any of the above, all you need is to increase your fluid intake (water, tea or non-fizzy drinks) and the colour of your urine will revert to normal.
