Does Having Catheter And Sitting For Long Periods Of Time, Increase Possibility Of Blood In The Urine?

Urine is more clear when it is more diluted and dilution depends on several factors such as water intake,other fluids and food intake, urination frequency,kidney function and some other. So it is not strange that urine isnt same colored during the day.
If you drink plenty of fluids in the evening before sleep,it may cause clear urine in the morning.
Sitting can cause darker urine since it may lead to changes in bladder contractility,but it shouldnt cause blood in urine. Blood in urine is manifested usually as pink, red or brownish-red. Dark urine can also indicate liver issue or urinary infection.So if this persists,you should do basic urine analysis just to rule out these possible causes,but if there is no any other symptoms,this shouldnt worry you.
Wish you good health.Regards


I have to say that looking at this urine bag is troubling.
I suggest to do basic urine analysis,you can send it from the bag and replace the catheter.beside those teas, aloe vera leaves,plantain and cumin seeds may help. But if there is bacterial infection then antibiotics will be necessary.
WIsh you good health.
