What's wrong with eating red pitaya urine?


Passionate about your health journey.
Red pitaya contains natural pigments. These pigments are normally water-soluble pigments. After ingestion, they are absorbed by the human body less, so a large amount of pigments are excreted through urine. Therefore, this situation will cause the patient's urine to be red, which looks like hematuria to the naked eye. This situation does not need to worry too much. This is a relatively normal phenomenon. As long as the patient drinks more water or lasts for a period of time, it can be naturally relieved and does not need special treatment. However, if the patient's urine continues to be red and does not improve, he should seek medical attention in time and conduct routine urine tests to find out whether there are red blood cells in the urine. From the above, it can be seen that after eating red pitaya, the color of urine changes is a normal phenomenon and can not be treated.
