Question 3

im a guy aged 27 years wth orange urine whn i urinate please help me. is this serious? what to do?

Accepted Answer

Doubt seriousness: Artificial food coloring and natural food colors like beet for instance can cause a phenomenon like this. Go over every thing you take by mouth including medicines. If no solution, see your primary care doc to evaluate blood count, chemistry, and urinalysis to rule out possible rare disease.

Question 4

i have orange urine every morning. it lightens in an hour. is this  a liver problem or would the urine be darker all the time?

Darker urine: This is probably just a sign that your urine is concentrated. You could answer this by drinking more water prior to sleeping and see if it is lighter the next morning (that is if you make it through night without urinating after more water intake!)

Question 5

what causes orange urine?

Accepted Answer

Orange urine: This is commonly seen after women take an over-the-counter bladder spasm medicine called pyridium (phenazopyridine) for UTI symptoms. Some high-dose vitamins or supplements could do it too, or if you eat excessive amounts of foods with beta-carotene (like carrots). Or, if you are dehydrated, that makes your urine more concentrated and it appears amber or orange.
