What is the reason for yellow urine? Is your urine normal?

Yellow urine is a morning phenomenon for some people, but if yellow urine also occurs during the day, it may be due to drinking less water. If you eat papaya or carrots, your urine will become yellow. Some diseases or inflammation can also cause yellow urine.

1: Food also affects the yellowness of urine. If the urine is dark yellow, it may be due to eating a lot of carrots, papayas and other foods, or Chinese medicine rhubarb, vitamins and other medicines. At this time, the urine will turn dark yellow, and it will return to normal as long as you stop eating.

2: Drinking less water is also one of the reasons for yellow urine. The light yellow urine is because it contains a yellow urochrome. If you drink less water, the proportion of urochrome in your urine will be high and the color will appear yellow.

3: Drugs will also have a certain impact on the color of urine. For example, when taking vitamin B, rifampicin and other drugs, the color of urine will become darker. It will naturally improve after stopping the medication, so there is no need to worry. However, if the color of urine is very dark and does not become lighter after drinking water, or even the color is like strong tea, you should pay attention.

4. Pathological reasons: Certain diseases can also cause yellow urine. For example, patients with acute fever or vomiting and diarrhea will lose water through sweat or feces, so the urine will become concentrated and yellow. When the liver or gallbladder is diseased, bile will be discharged from the urethra, making the urine dark yellow; the urine of hepatitis patients will also be the color of strong tea. In addition, when the urinary organs become purulent, yellow turbid pyuria will also be discharged. Insufficient kidney qi and kidney deficiency can also cause yellow urine. In addition, yellow turbid pyuria is a manifestation of suppuration of the urinary organs.
