Whats wrong if it burns when you urinate an theres blood in your urine?
you need to see a doctor you might have a bladder infection or a urinary tract infection...good luck eh Depending on your gender, it can mean a couple of different things, but most likely you have a bladder infection or an STD from the venerial disease family. Go see a doctor as soon as you can for diagnosis and treatment. Most things that cause burning during urination aren't life threatening, but can become worse and can cause other problems, like infertility, or can leave you vulnerable to other diseases (some think that it's easier to catch other STDs if you already have one.) Make an appointment today.
Often, if you are experiencing pain/burning while urinating this is due to a change in the pH level of the urine. This can be caused by diet, but may also denote the presence of infection.
If infection is present, it could be a simple UTI (urinary tract infection), but it may be something more serious, such as a bladder or kidney infection, or possibly even an STD (sexually transmitted disease). It is always best to see your physician in order to have a simple test done, because prescriptions may be all that is required to clear the problem up.
How does hormones control urine volume?
Our urine is produced not only in order to eliminate many of the cellular waste products, but also to control both the amount and the composition of the extracellular fluid in the body. Controlling the amount of water and chemicals in the body is essential to life, and our body does so by producing various amounts of urine so that we can either excrete the "extra" water and chemicals (mainly sodium) or conserve the water and chemicals when they are in short supply. Therefore, the volume of urine that we excrete everyday is a reflection of how much extracellular fluid and sodium our bodies have to spare. The kidney tubule regulation of the salt and water in our bodies is the most important factor in determining urine volume. Too much water and salt in our bodies is dangerous and too little water and salt in our bodies is dangerous. Therefore, the level of water and salts excreted in urine - the urine volume - is adjusted to the needs of the body. As a general rule, however, and under optimum conditions, the body produces urine at a rate of about 1 ml/min.

Why was glucose excreted in urine?
glucose is excreted in urine in diabetes when the blood sugar level is beyond normal and insulin is not enough or not doing the job of transporting sugar to its target organ.
The main reason is that because the kidneys cannot absorb all of the excess glucose in the body. This excess glucose spills into the urine, accompanied by water and electrolytes ions necessary for the cells to regulate the electric charge and flow of water molecules across the cell membrane. Hence this causes frequent urination to get rid of the additional water drawn into the urine and excessive thirst to trigger replacement of lost water.
What hollow tube leading through the bladder?
The tube from the bladder to the body's opening is called a urethra. The tubes from the kidneys to the bladder are called ureters.
