Question 2

i have n low output urine drinking lots of water daily.i do drink relislim and lemon with water everday.
i am late with my period 5days today.
please help what can be the problem.

Accepted Answer

Gaining weight?: Water retention should cause weight gain as water weighs 8 lb/gallon. In a woman with regular periods, some causes of a late period include: pregnancy, excessive weight loss gain, increased exercising, emotional stress, having an illness, traveling, medicines (like birth control pills), hormonal imbalances, etc…  Seeing a doctor is a good idea if symptoms are persistent, recurring, or worrisome.

Question 3

i'm having a urodynamic testing done monday, doing a urine/drinking log  for 3 days, can i drink alcohol; a beer or glass of wine tonight?

Accepted Answer

Go ahead: 12  oz of beer with normal alcohol content or a glass of wine will not interfere with your uds on monday. In fact you could do the same sunday evening. Cheers.

Question 4

will drinking lots of water make my urine for a drug test look more clean?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Remember just because the urine looks clear does not mean that it will test clean!

Question 5

long ago woman advised to drink cow urine for menopause, was it safe? still worried

Accepted Answer

Not very: I think you might be thinking about horse urine, which is what the drug Premarin (conjugated estrogens) (pregnant mare urine) used to be made from. Drinking urine may not be dangerous but there's no good reason to do it. Pregnant animal urine will contain some level of estrogen but you'd never know how much. There are much better and safer ways to get estrogen and it shouldn't be taken without  progestin for most women.

Question 6

what amount water can i drink to get my system clean for a urine drug test i have to take tomorrow?

Accepted Answer

You can't: The vast majority of drugs are metabolized by the liver, and while some of the metabolites are excreted in urine, they are not cleared in any quantity that way. Test kits now almost all test for the level of dilution in the urine, looking for people who are drinking excessive amounts of water to try to "beat" tests. A low specific gravity or creatinine level from high water intake invalidates test

Question 7

i did one line of cocaine on sunday 12/18 morning at about 1:30 am. i was drinking it was & have never done it before. i have a urine drug test tuesday at 7 am. it would be about 53 hrs since i did the line. is it likely i will pass? i am 5'9/170lbs

Accepted Answer

Unlikely to pass: In infrequent cocaine users like you described yourself ,it may show in the urine for3to5to days. But those who abuse it regularly it may remain positive for 2 to3 weeks.Cocaine breaks down rather quickly but the urine test is done for the metabolite of cocaine Benzoylecgonone and that can show in urine for 3 to 5 days.One can dilute the urine by drinking lots of water but there is no guarantee.

Question 8

is it ok to drink enough water to lower thc levels in your urine to pass a drug test?

Accepted Answer

Nope: No. The test will check your specific gravity and you will fail it.

Question 9

i'm on felony dwi probation.took drug and alcohol urine test last month, they said i failed for alcohol.i 100% didn't drink!now i'm probably going to be revoked and go to jail.what can i do about this?there is no way i should have failed it.how accurate a

Accepted Answer

Blood : Blood alcohol concentration (bac) is the most accurate way to determine alcohol levels.  My understanding is that when alcohol is measured through urine it is more to determine the presence or absence of alcohol rather than an exact level.   Most laboratories  have to adhere to rigorous standards with both internal and external monitoring  to be certified.  Reportedly sugar or acetone in urine have the potential to effect a urine alcohol screen.  If you think that this that there was a false positive on your alcohol screen, i suggest you obtain legal advice.

Question 10
