What is the reason for men to have yellow urine for a long time?

We know that a person's health status can be reflected through his urine, and normal urine is light yellow. So what causes the urine to be very yellow?

1. Prostatitis

Prostatitis generally presents with frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, redness and swelling of the urethra, stinging and purulent secretions. Some diseases can cause urine to have an unpleasant odor; maculopapular rashes, small pustules, one or more skin and mucosal ulcers, etc. may appear in the genital area.

2. Cystitis:

The diagnosis of acute cystitis requires a midstream urine test in addition to medical history and physical signs. There are pus cells and red blood cells in the urine, and the urine is yellow.

3. Urethritis:

Some urethritis patients may also suffer from long-term yellow urine, so this should be taken seriously. If you encounter this situation, you should go to the hospital for a check-up.

4. Liver disease:

When the liver is diseased, the urine will usually take on a strong tea color. Since the kidneys cannot break down the above-mentioned bilirubin, etc., they will be excreted from the body with urine, causing the urine to be yellow and last for a long time. In the early stages of hepatitis, before jaundice appears, we often see yellow urine with an odor, which is often a sign of hepatitis.

5. Getting angry:

Yellow urine with an unpleasant odor may also be caused by eating too much hot food and getting a sore throat. This situation is not serious, just drink some herbal tea to reduce the heat.

6. Drink less water:

Some people don’t like to drink water and only drink one or two glasses of water a day. Such people are also prone to having yellow urine with an odor for a long time. This is very unhealthy for your body.

The color of urine is often affected by food and medicine. 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, does not become lighter after drinking water, or even the color is like strong tea, you should pay attention. If your urine is yellow and has an odor for a long time, and you feel tired, weak, and have a loss of appetite, you should consider whether you have a disease in your liver, kidney, or urinary and reproductive system, and you need to go to the hospital for a check-up in time.
