In fact, in clinic, patients often ask this question. Of course, when most people see that their urine turns yellow, they will first think that it is the reason for drinking less water, and some people suspect that they are sick. Both of these ideas are possible, but not unique.

Under normal circumstances, adult urine itself is pale yellow, which is a physiological phenomenon. But in general, the color of urine is uneven. If you sweat too much or drink too little, the urine color will deepen and appear dark yellow; But if you drink a lot of water, the urine color may be clear yellow, or even transparent to the naked eye. Of course, sometimes it may be related to the food or medicine you eat. For example, when you eat papaya or carrots, or when you eat drugs such as rhubarb and vitamin B, the urine may be darker than usual and appear dark yellow.

All the above situations are normal. In addition, some diseases may also lead to yellow urine. For example, some people's urine is as dark yellow as strong tea water or overnight tea water. If this happens once or twice, it may be a physiological situation. However, if this is the case for a long time, it may be accompanied by fatigue, upper abdominal pain and discomfort, and may even be accompanied by yellowing of the skin and sclera. , must be taken seriously. At this time, we should be alert to the occurrence of jaundice caused by hepatobiliary or pancreatic diseases and actively go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

In addition to yellow urine, urine may be red and turbid, which may indicate some health problems.

Yellow color and strong smell indicate that the concentration of urea, uric acid, urate and other substances in urine is high. If it is short-term, it may be related to eating habits. Eating more hot pot, barbecue and mala Tang will make the human body's internal environment sour. Staying up late, working overtime, drinking and smoking will also make the human body's internal environment sour, which will turn the urine yellow. Eating more carrots will also turn the urine yellow.

Like physiological yellow urine, don't worry too much, drink more water every day, eat evenly, change the high-oil and high-fat diet, and develop a good regular routine, so the symptoms of yellow urine can disappear.

If the yellow urine smell lasts for a long time, accompanied by backache, swelling, foam and so on. , can be a urinary system problem, especially nephropathy, such as uremia, nephrotic syndrome, renal failure and so on. Acute icteric hepatitis and biliary obstruction can also lead to yellow urine. Taking vitamin B 12 can also cause the above symptoms.

Pathological urine has a strong yellow smell, so we need to go to the hospital to find out the reason, prescribe the right medicine and actively treat it. In particular, yellow urine may be an early symptom of uremia, and early detection and treatment is an excellent method to improve the cure rate.
