What's up with my urine?!


Question: When I pee, especially in the mornings after waking up, my urine smells really potent. It is dark and the smell is just so unbearable. I know I don't have a yeast infection or urinary tract infection. What else could it possibly be?

It is normal for urine to become very concentrated overnight. Keeping well hydrated during the day may be helpful.

If you have muscle pain or other symptoms you could have a more serious issue and should seek medical attention.

Stop eating so much junk food.

you said "especially in the mornings" - when you're more dehydrated, your pee is more concentrated. could be that you're simply not drinking enough water.

i think you're dehydrated, drink plenty of water the night before (but not too much to wake you up middle of the night to go to the bathroom)
and if that doesn't work i think you should go see a doctor

well depends on alot of things...an infection is a possibility but i would rule out a few other things first...depends on what you've been drinking? the more clear liquids you drink the clearer your urine will be and the less odor it will have...and if uve been doing drugs recently or if you have been doing them more heavily than normal it will smell and become darker until they are out of your system >(i totally deserve best answer)

too much soda and not enough water.. we all do that sometimes ....

Do you take a lot of vitamins? Pay attention to the things you eat and drink. that can effect your urine. if its really bad i would check with your doc

i guess drink a lot of water

this definately sounds like a UTI. I had one a few weeks ago. Get an appointment with a doctor for a urine test, meanwhile drink lots of water and check out a product called AZO (you can find it at wal-mart near the condoms and yeast infection stuff) There's several types of AZO, use the one for UTIs. It'll turn your pee orange, but any pain will go away and so will the stench. If your urine has always been this way it means you are not drinking enough water. try drinking cranberry juice too.

if you drink allot of water try also drinking cranberry juice.

how do you know you don't have an infection. if you eat healthy and drink a lot of water, it could be a sign of an underlying infection that is not really showing too may signs. drink a lot of cranberry juice. also apple cider vinegar has a cleansing effect.

need to drink more water

you should drink lots of water when you going to bed then in the morning it will not be so dark try..we always think we drink lots of water but 1 day at least we should drink 8 glass of water.

good luck!

well dark pee is usually an indication that you need to drink more water. it might also be that your using your fat reserves IE: losing weight
I know that happens to me when I eat alot of protein
