well...... i think you should drink more water to get all the toxins out of your bladder i think the more water you drink the more it might help that's just what i think!

First look at what your diet is. Are you taking Vitamin B supplements, berocca etc? If not, dark urine usually means that you are not drinking enough water. The yellow is because your body is contantly trying to get rid of toxins in your body and when you are dehydrating it does not help you flush them out. My advice is to drink a lot more water especially in the morning when you get up. I drink about 500mls around brekkie time and that flushes my body out quickly. Also if you are not careful you could develop cystitsis (dark unrine with buring/itching feeling). Try and limit your alchol as well. When you drink every second drink have a glass of water and that will help you to keep up with good renal health.

It could be a couple of things. Have you started taking a multivitamin in the past few days? Multivitamins can do that to you sometimes. Also you could be dehydrated. When you don't drink enough, your urine is usually bright yellow, and sometimes cloudy. You could also have an infection, most likely bladder. Either way its good to check with your doc. Good luck!

This probably isnt the reason, but just may be so i thought it was worth letting you know. If you are taking a multivitamin or b-vitamin supplement your urine can be this colour as b vitamins are naturally this colour and can turn your urine bright yellow too. i used to work in a health shop and we had to warn people of this in case they got worried

Well, I know that when I drink a lot of water, my urine appears much lighter than before, which is a good thing actually. If that isn't the case, you should ask your doctor.

Do you take a multivitamin? Sometimes the B-vitamins make your urine very yellow for a few hours after you take it. It is not a problem. If it continues and you have not introduced vitamins, then contact your doc for professional advice. Good luck. :)

ARe you on any medications? many can alter the colour of your urine. do you have pain when urinateing? whenever I have a UTI my urine is much darker yellow. I'm not sure what else it could be... but yes, for sure talk to your doc! good luck

drink lots and lots and lots of water. like 3 liters a day or something. vitamin B is yellow so that might affect it as well. but hey you've heard that already =)
good luck x

My urine is bright yellow from the multi-vitamin I take. On days I don't take them, it's normal. This might be your reason too.

"bright" urine can be caused by taking vitamin supplements. But do drink more water til you get to drs to know for sure.

could be you need to drink more water, could be you are taking vitamins and have an excess of Vitamin B, that will turn your urine bright yellow.
