Question

personal

Answer 1

I don't think so. Check with your doc, you could have a protein imbalance. Also, I think one of my friends mentioned that when she had a UTI, the antibiotics they gave her made her pee go orange. On any antibiotics??

Answer 2

You are probably still NOT drinking enough water (do you find you are regularly consitpated this is a sign of not drinking enough with dark urine)
if you drink only when thirsty you are missing out on 30% of your needs it is reccomended to drink AT LEAST 3 Litres (6 Pints) of fluid a day of which 2 or more litres is water based (not tea,coffee or alcohol).

otherwise:-

a. You are not eating enough protein or calories (protein breakdown causes orange discolouration of urine as the body canabalises its own muscle)

b. You are on medication that causes discoloration

c. you have a liver disorder, (is you poo pale and/or eyes/skin yellowish then this will be confirmation)

d. you have a kidney condition.

if drinking a LOT more water doesnt solve it then see your doctor. 90% of people only drink the minimum amount of water they need to survive rather than the amount they need to stay health the shortfall is often 1 litre per day

Answer 3

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and an ex nurse. You may be. The colour means that it is concentrated you man even have a water infection. the orangy colour may mean it's mixed with blood. Do you have a lot of headaches, back pain(lower) do you have a temperature, if the answer is yes to one or more of these see your Dr NOW! Drink at least 2 litres of water per day plus Cranberry juice.

Answer 4

Colour of urine does not in any way indicate pregnancy. You are either very dehydrated, or could have a problem with your liver or gall bladder, drink at least 2 litres of water a day, if it goes back to normal then probably OK, have a look in the mirror at the colour of the WHITES of your eyes, if they are yellow, then see your dr without delay, probalby not a bad idea to get him to look at you anyway even if they aren't yellow.

Answer 5

sometime if you hold your urine too long it can darken but usually only to a dark yellow color.

usually this is an indication of dehydration-so keep drinking lots of fluids-try to avoid juice or soda if possible-they are full of sugar and can worsen the dehydration

medications and some foods (especially candy) can discolor urine as well

Dark brown or clear urine is characteristic of a liver disorder such as acute viral hepatitis or cirrhosis .

pregnancy usually does not effect the color of the urine.

Answer 6

That is an indication of urinary tract infection go see the Dr because nobody gets the urine brown or orange coloured

Answer 7

The darker your pee - the more dehydrated you are. In the heat you should be drinking 3 litres a day - 5 pints!

If you think you could be pregnant, do a test. Put your mind at ease, or not....

Answer 8

You can be either

Dehydrated in which case drink a lot of fluids like water of any brand (tap water, mineral water, non mineral water ..etc) or any other juices of fruit or vegetable origin

Or you could be having jaundice where your liver is inflammed and they call it hepatitis

Or you could have had a lot of carrots

Answer 9

It means that you're dehydrated and need to up your water intake until your wee is a light yellow colour. Any lighter than than and your intake is too high.

Answer 10

No, it means that you are dehydrated. Drink plenty of fluids, even if you don't feel thirsty.

If it smells bad, you may have an infection.
