Why is women's urine green?

Human urine has many colors. Under normal circumstances, urine is light yellow and white. However, due to people's bad eating habits, sleeping habits and other living habits, the urine color may change. If the urine is dark yellow, it may be a sign of kidney malfunction; some women have green urine, so why does women's urine appear green?

It is not common for urine to be green, but if you encounter it, don't worry too much. For example, eating certain foods can cause urine to be green. This phenomenon is normal. In the future, just pay attention to adjusting your diet structure and learn to develop good living habits.

Reason: 1. Certain foods, pigments, drugs or vitamins may also affect the normal color of urine. The more clinically important color changes are as follows: Red urine: Generally common in abnormal urine. If you are a female, you need to consider whether it is menstrual contamination. Otherwise, you need to use a urine test strip to determine whether it is blood or related substances that appear red. Yellow or green-brown: Usually related to bile pigments, but highly concentrated urine can also appear dark brown, so the two can be easily confused. Green urine may also occur after taking some Chinese medicines.

2. If the urine is green when you urinate and you don’t feel any discomfort, it may be related to taking vitamins. It’s okay and you can drink more boiled water. Guidance: It is recommended to stop taking vitamins, drink plenty of boiled water every day, get more rest, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. If the urine returns to normal, it means that it is caused by the drug and it is okay. If the color is still green after stopping the drug, a routine urine test is needed to rule out abnormalities.

3. The urine may change color as the kidneys metabolize different foods and medicines. Generally, there are no other accompanying symptoms, so occasional changes are not a big problem. Guidance: Green urine may occur when taking drugs such as indomethacin or methylene blue, or when there is infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. If you are worried or concerned, you can do a routine urine test. 4. If there are no other symptoms, this is a normal phenomenon. It is abnormal if the urine color does not change after taking vitamins. If you take 100% natural nutritional supplements, your urine will have a strong odor. Guidance: This is normal, don't worry. In addition, do not take it straight, just take it according to the instructions on the product or the instructions given by the doctor. 5. As long as there is no other discomfort, there is no problem. Don’t worry too much and pay more attention to yourself. Guidance: Pay more attention to hygiene, clean the perineum frequently, do not stay up late, have a regular life, and do not put too much pressure on yourself to relax. 6. It occurs when Pseudomonas aeruginosa grows in the urine, or when bilirubinuria is left for too long and oxidized into biliverdin. Light green urine: seen after taking large amounts of anti-inflammatory drugs. Dark green urine: The cause is the same as blue urine. It can be seen in cholera, typhus, primary hypercalcemia, and vitamin D poisoning. But this color of urine is mostly related to medication, not caused by disease. It may occur after taking the diuretic triamterene, injecting methylene blue, or taking methylene blue, indigo carmine, creosote, or salicylic acid. It will disappear upon stopping the medication.
