A member asked:
Why does my urine always turn darker just after drinking lots of water, and then it turns lighter after the first urination?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Concentration: The first voided urine was probably concentrated as you were taking in the fluid it became more dilute then less concentrated therefore appearing more clear.
