Why is my urine cloudy? Causes of cloudy urine

We all know that normal urine is generally colorless. If the urine is turbid, it means that you may have a certain disease and the patient needs treatment based on his or her symptoms.

1. Chylous urine: The urine is milky white like milk, and sometimes contains small jelly-like clots. This is more common in lymphatic system diseases.

2. Pyuria: When the urine is mixed with a large number of white blood cells and inflammatory tissue fragments, the entire urine appears dirty white and turbid. This is mostly caused by bacterial infection, often accompanied by obvious symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency and pain when urinating.

3. Hematuria: When there are a large number of red blood cells in the urine, the urine will be light red, and in severe cases it will be red. This is gross hematuria. When red blood cells rupture, urine will appear the color of pork washing water, which is hemoglobinuria. The presence of gross hematuria and hemoglobinuria both indicate lesions in the kidneys and other urinary system organs.

In addition, when a large number of casts and mucus threads appear in the urine, the urine will become turbid when it is excreted.

The urine is clear at the beginning of urination, and the last few drops are turbid urine: this phenomenon is only seen when the bladder muscles of men contract when urinating, especially at the end of urination, which can easily "pull" or squeeze the prostate and seminal vesicles, so that the secreted prostatic fluid or semen is also squeezed out a little bit. The few drops of turbid liquid after urination are a mixture of urine, prostatic fluid and semen. This phenomenon is mostly physiological, and is especially likely to occur after men become excited. However, a small part of the cases are due to inflammation of the prostate or seminal vesicles, which make them more easily irritated by bladder contraction and discharge a small amount of secretions. This is pathological and requires further examination and confirmation.

In short, you must pay attention when the urine appears turbid. If you feel unwell at the same time, you should seek medical attention immediately to avoid missing the best time for diagnosis and treatment.
