I started realizing on Monday September 25th that my urine has been a dark yellow color. I've been noticing too that I am dehydrated but I've always been drinking water. I know the more you drink water, the urine will turn clear. I am not taking any vitamins but I am taking birth control pills. ( For the past 4 years)FYI: I recently broke out in hives the week before. Is the hives makin my urine a dark yellow? For the hives, I was taking Benadryl Allergy and I used the Aveeno anti-itch lotion. I am worried. I have been feeling lazy and I guess tired. Is there something wrong with me? Just yesterday, I went to see a doc to get medication and creme for my hives and I couldn't ask her about my urine because my meeting with her went too fast. Please help....any doctors or nurses out there???

Not a doctor or a nurse, but I am diabetic and some of those things sound like signs of it. Go see your doctor before you do permanent damage to your body.
Good Luck!

I think your best bet is to call your doctor. You can usually speak to the nurse about a problem and she can run it by the doctor. They'll let you know if they think it's something you need to be seen for. I do know that not drinking enough fluids will make your urine dark. Dark urine is not usually a sign of a urinary tract infection. That usually entails burning, pain and sometimes blood.
Call your doctor. You'll feel better just talking to them. Good luck.

Is there an odor? also Benadryl can make u drowsy so that could be why u feel lazy. Becareful check the lotion you are using, some lotions have Benadryl in them already. The Dr's office cn test your urine for different things like blood, luekocytes, and a bunch of other things which can giive them an Idea of what might be going on.

go back and see the doc! dark urine sometimes indicates a problem with the kidneys, the hives may also be connected,are you sweating more? do your hives burn or itch? these things you have to think about and tell your doc everything... also tell doc of any other drugs or prescriptions you have or are taking

Urinary tract infections will make you feel tired and zap the energy right out of you. Your urine will turn dark or even bloody.
Once the infection get really bad you will have pain when you pee.
GO BACK TO THE DR. AND TELL THEM YOUR SYMPTOMS.
You DON'T want a UTI to get up into your KIDNEYS!!!

possibly, but if you have the opportunity to go see a doctor then you should go. Our health must be one of our priorities.
