What are the reasons for long-term yellow urine in men?

It is well known that the color of urine is an important indicator of health status. Under normal circumstances, most men's urine is transparent. When the amount is large, it will be light yellow, and sometimes it will be yellowish brown when the amount is small. For most people, the first urine after getting up in the morning is darker in color. So why does men’s urine turn yellow for a long time?

1. Prostatitis: Prostatitis can be divided into different types such as acute, chronic and non-bacterial. When prostatitis occurs, the urine will turn yellow, and symptoms such as urgency, pain, and inability to urinate will appear.

Likewise, there is a burning sensation and pain in the urethra when urinating, and as the condition worsens, the pain radiates to the surrounding organs. In the early morning, there are secretions such as mucus at the urethra opening, and urination may also occur. In addition, there may sometimes be a feeling of distension in the perineum, posterior urethra and anus, and the pain will be aggravated when squatting, defecating or sitting on a chair for a long time.

2. Urethritis: Urinary tract infection can cause abnormal changes in urine, the most common of which are yellow urine, bacterial urine, pyuria, hematuria and pneumaturia. Urethritis is very likely to occur after unclean sexual intercourse. If a small amount of white secretions appear or the underwear is dirty 1 to 3 weeks after unclean sexual intercourse, the urethral opening is sealed by a scab produced by dried secretions in the morning, and the urine is yellow when urinating, etc., you should seek treatment immediately and pay attention to it.

3. Cystitis: Yellow urine is a symptom of cystitis, especially in acute cystitis and tuberculous cystitis. Men with cystitis may experience symptoms of yellow urine. This is because the urination center is in an excited state, resulting in yellow urine and reduced urine volume.

4. Liver disease: The urine of hepatitis patients is generally yellow. This is because when there is a lesion in the liver or gallbladder, the bile pathway to the intestines is cut off, and the kidneys are unable to break down the above-mentioned bilirubin, etc., so it will be excreted from the body with urine, causing the urine to be yellow and last for a long time.

In addition, some male friends with sexual dysfunction will experience white discharge from the urethra when urinating or defecating, and hematospermia may occur when combined with seminal vesiculitis.

Of course, some bad habits of men in life can also lead to the appearance of yellow urine. Such as not liking to drink water, getting easily inflamed, often staying up late, overusing eyes, drinking excessively, etc.
