Does dragon fruit make urine red?


Guiding you to a healthier path.
After eating dragon fruit, urine will turn red, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. There is no need to worry. Because dragon fruit contains red anthocyanins, which are difficult to digest, too much consumption may cause anthocyanins to not be fully digested, so it will be excreted with urine. For this situation, after stopping eating dragon fruit, urine will return to normal the next day, and urine will return to normal within three days at the latest. If the urine is still red after stopping eating pitaya for many days, it is suggested that the patient should go to the hospital for examination in time to rule out the possibility of hematuria as soon as possible. Of course, hematuria caused by ureteral stones, kidney stones, urinary system tumors and other diseases cannot be ruled out. Therefore, the patient must go to the regular hospital for treatment in time.
