Can dehydration (or not drinking enough in general) cause the presence of rbc in urine? mine was 3-5. im 25 years old?

If this persists you need to get checked out. Dehydration by itself does not cause this.

You need to be careful in collecting the urine specimen to avoid contamination with vaginal fluid. Visit this site about information about a clean catch: https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/007487.htm Drink enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
