Urine is a liquid metabolite in the human body, formed by the kidneys, and then temporarily stored in the bladder through the ureter, and after storage to a certain extent, it is excreted from the body by the urethra.
Such a process can maintain the body's water and electrolyte balance, and can also excrete some metabolites from the body.
For healthy people, the color of urine is light yellow or colorless, but in daily life, many people will excrete very yellow urine, what is going on?
First, the urine is concentrated
If the color of the urine is yellower when you get up in the morning for the first time to urinate, but there is no other discomfort, this situation is a natural phenomenon caused by the high concentration of metabolites contained in the urine in the body after being concentrated overnight.
In addition, after the behavior of holding urine, the color of the urine will also turn yellow. This condition is also caused by the concentration of urine, which will soon ease without the need for specific treatment as long as you urinate quickly and hydrate properly.
Second, the body is dehydrated
Especially for people who do not like to drink water, once the body is short of water, it will lead to excessive urine pigment content in the urine, resulting in yellow urine. Most of the composition of urine is water, and only a small part belongs to some solutes.
Among these solutes, urine pigment, a yellow substance produced by the kidneys, turns the color of the urine yellow. If you drink too little water, the amount of water in the urine will decrease, and the content of urine pigment will increase, resulting in yellowing of urine.
This condition can also occur after the body sweats profusely, which is also caused by excessive water excretion and untimely hydration.
Third, the internal fire is strong
When the internal fire is strong, it is easy to cause yellow urine. For example, when there is a strong liver fire and a strong heart, the body's immune function will decline, and it is easy to cause some relatively mild urinary system infections.
However, because the symptoms are mild, patients generally do not experience discomfort. However, urine will contain more metabolites, which will make the urine yellow, and it will generally be accompanied by some sleep disorders, mouth ulcers, bad breath, easy constipation and other phenomena.
4. Urinary system infection
Whether men or women, urine can also become very yellow when suffering from a series of urinary infections.
For example, in a series of inflammations such as urethritis, cystitis, or prostatitis in men, more bacteria will be produced in the urinary tract, and these bacteria will damage the urinary tract, thereby producing some flocculent in the urine.
These flocs are generally dark yellow and turn the color of the urine yellow. Patients are generally accompanied by pain during urination, as well as a series of uncomfortable symptoms such as urgency and frequency.
5. Hepatobiliary diseases
In the case of liver disease or gallbladder disease, because bile cannot enter the intestine smoothly to help digest food, too much bile will be excreted from the urine, so that the bile content in the urine will increase, the color of the urine will become very yellow, and even brown urine will appear.
If it is caused by hepatobiliary disease, the patient will experience repeated discomfort, such as dull pain or swelling, in the upper right quadrant, accompanied by some indigestion or jaundice.
All in all, if the color of the urine is yellowed during urination, it is generally related to the above five factors.
In addition, if you eat too many carrots at one time or take more drugs such as riboflavin and riterin, it will also cause the color of the urine to turn yellow.
When this phenomenon occurs, it must be treated according to the cause of yellowing of urine color, if it is caused by lack of water in the body, then it must be hydrated in time, and do not appear to hold urine.
If it is caused by disease factors, it is necessary to give corresponding treatment to be able to maintain your health to the greatest extent.
