A member asked:

Can eating boil spinach daily can bring heavy bleeding in urine?

Not related: Hi. No, eating boiled spinach daily does not cause heavy bleeding in the urine. Blood in the urine needs to be evaluated; potential causes include kidney stones, infections, tumors, trauma, and other rarer causes. But don't blame the spinach. Good luck!

Hematuria: Nope. Not in any way would spinach be the cause of this very worrisome medical problem. Please go see your doctor TODAY.

No: Raw spinach will do that as it contains an enzyme which causes kidney stones which can lead to bleeding. But boiling it will destroy this enzyme and as such will not cause bleeding. Get a check up immediately for this condition

No : Spinach does not explain blood in your urine. You should see your primary doctor for evaluation and referral to a urologist for further work up.

No: Visible blood in urine is never normal and not directly related to diet. You must see a urologist.
