Does the urethra pass through the prostate to cut off the urine during ejaculation?
No. Muscles at the base of the bladder contract in order to close off the passageway from the bladder into the urethra, the tube through which urine and semen leave the body.
Learning the Signs of a Bladder Infection?
Bladder infections are extremely painful, so most people know when they have one. However, for those who have little or no experience with bladder infections, familiarizing yourself with the symptoms is important because if left untreated, they can cause permanent damage to the kidneys.Pain While UrinatingThe most obvious symptom of a bladder infection is the pain that comes while urinating. For most, this is the first symptom that catches their attention. This pain can be described as a stinging sensation and usually occurs at its worst near the end of urination. It is possible for the discomfort to remain for a few moments even after urination is complete. The pain will be centralized in the urethra.Odor of UrineFor those with a bladder infection, a strange odor is noticed while urinating. This smell can be described as a stronger-than-usual urine scent. Because various foods can also cause an unusual urine scent, this symptom alone does not indicate a bladder infection.Appearance of UrineFor those with a bladder infection, their urine may appear to be murky or more condensed than usual.Blood in UrineBlood spots in the urine are a sign that the infection has spread up the urinary tract to the kidneys. The more blood, the more serious the infection has become.Pain in Other Areas of the BodyPain from a bladder infection is not limited to the urethra. Patients have also reported pain in their back, lower stomach, and pelvic region. Back pain, like blood in the urine, is a sign of the infection invading the kidneys. Women who are suffering from a bladder infection may experience discomfort during sexual intercourse.FeverA fever is a sign that the body is attempting to kill off an infection. A fever coupled with any of the previous symptoms is an indicator of a bladder infection.Bladder infections are treated with a simple antibiotic, so as soon as any of these symptoms appear, it is wise to go see a doctor before the infection worsens.
What can happen to a patient if the foley catheter is clamped off and the urine has backed up into the patient?
It is quite common for a catheter to be clamped off. Unfortunately not as common as it should be. When this is done the urine will be retained in the bladder. This is not a bad thing -> its what the bladder was designed for. The only problem with this is that if the catheter clamp is left on for an excessive amount of time it may cause pain (like a strong urge to go to the toilet) as the urine collects in the bladder or cause retrograde ureteric flow back to the bladder. One of the problems of NOT clamping a catheter is bladder shrinkage which can lead to urine bypassing (coming out down the sides of the catheter tube) by various mechanisms. bladder shrinkage can be a problem when the catheter is removed.
What is good to drink for urine infection?
Water. LOTS of water. And cranberry juice. Those should be your main beverages when you have a bladder infection. Other juices are OK, but not as helpful as cranberry. And alcohol should wait until the infection is over. It can irritate your bladder even when it is not infected, there is some information on the internet about a possible link between alcohol consumption and bladder cancer. Also, no caffeine should be consumed while you have a bladder infection.
Why few mucous threads in urine and urine color is amber?
The urine can be a significant indicator of health or illness. In a healthy, well-hydrated person, the urine should be a clear, yellow-golden color. Some physicians comment that if a person imagined a newspaper at the bottom of the toilet, you should be able to read the words of the newspaper through the urine. Urine becomes darker in color if a person is dehydrated because the urine is more concentrated. When the person increases water consumption, the urine lightens in color. When a person is over-hydrated the urine can become very, very light in color. Doctors recommend 8 glasses of water a day at 8 ounces each to adequately flush the kidneys and for optimum urinary health. Besides dehydration, the urine can darken in the presence of a bladder or kidney infection. Infection irritates the bladder wall, often resulting in small to large amounts of blood in the urine. The amount of blood can be so small that it is not seen by the eye but is detected during urinalysis or "clean catch" specimens. Also during urinary infection, the bladder walls can slough off more mucous or mucous-like tissue. This needs to be evaluated by a physician or laboratory tests. If the mucous is caused by urinary infection, antibiotics are important. An untreated UTI (urinary tract infection) can become so bad that it travels to the kidneys. However, some people have occassional mucous in the urine with no presence of UTI. The only way to positively determine if there is a UTI is to have urine tests done. There are many other conditions that can affect the urine's color, concentration, appearance such as mucous threads, or its odor so it is important to be evaluated by a physician.
What can spots of blood after urinating mean?
The only thing that comes to mind is a bladder infection. But if it were a bladder infection, you would probably be getting other symptoms such as a burning sensation when you urinate, as well as having to go to the bathroom more than usual.
If you have pain lower back and have fever?
This could be a kidney infection. Your kidneys are in your lower back on either side of your back bone. When infected, kidneys tend to ache and cause the body to run at a higher temperature in an attempt to fight off the infection. Other symptoms can include cloudy urine, bloody urine, and vomiting. It's definitely worth a trip to the doctor. Cranberries have the ability to help in a kidney/bladder infection. Pick up some fresh cranberries. Though bitter, if your kidneys are the problem your pain might lessen until you can reach the doctor.
What epithelial cells non renal mean in the urine?
Epithelial cells are the cells your body uses to line tubes, among other things, and the term renal refers to the kidney. So they are saying that in the urine they found some cells that normally line tubes, but they could tell they weren't from the kidney.

What could be wrong if you are spotting blood in your urine and feel cramps in your stomach area and should you consult a doctor?
Yes, you should consult a doctor about the blood in your urine. Hematuria means blood in the urine. Microscopic hematuria means that the blood is seen only when the urine is examined under a microscope. Gross hematuria means that there is enough blood in the urine to be seen without a microscope. Hematuria is a sign that something is causing bleeding in the urinary tract. The urinary tract includes the kidneys, the ureters (tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder), the bladder, and the urethra (tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body). Some common causes of blood in the urine are: urinary tract (bladder) infection strenuous exercise kidney disease a stone in your bladder or in a kidney an inherited disease such as sickle cell anemia or systemic lupus erythematosus medicines such as blood thinners, including heparin (Calciparine, Liquaemin), warfarin (Coumadin), or aspirin-type medicines; penicillins; sulfa-containing drugs; cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) a tumor in your urinary tract a prostate infection injury to any part of the urinary tract (for example, falling off a bike might bruise your kidney). This sounds like a Urinary tract infection to me. I have had one and I purchased tablets called Azo Standard from my local grocery. They have many different kinds. It worked great! It will make your pee very orange, almost red, but it is supposed to so dont worry. It also might make it smell a little. For me it took about three days and the problem was gone. So good luck and I really recommend Azo!

What prevents sperm and urine from mixing?
The internal sphincter muscle at the base of the bladder prevents urine from mixing with sperm during ejaculation. This muscle contracts to close off the bladder's exit, ensuring that only semen passes through the urethra. Additionally, the flow of semen from the ejaculatory ducts during ejaculation helps to clear any urine that may be present in the urethra beforehand.
