Why is male urine yellow?

In our daily lives, we will all encounter yellow urine to a certain extent. This is especially true for male friends, who are under great pressure from life and work, and have irregular daily diet and work and rest schedules, which can easily lead to yellow urine. Some people think that they have a regular life, but still have yellow urine. Let me share with you why male urine is yellow.

Non-disease factors for yellow urine

When taking some medicines, the urine may turn yellow. Once you stop taking the medicine, the yellow color will disappear immediately. There is no need to worry.

Patients with common fever or vomiting and diarrhea will excrete water in their sweat or feces, so their urine concentration will decrease, but the urine pigment will not change, so the color of the urine will appear very yellow.

If you take an acidic diet, your urine will be dark, and if you take an alkaline diet, your urine will be light. Sometimes, if you take a few other medications, your urine will be dark yellow. If your urine is always yellow, and you feel tired and weak, and have no appetite, you need to go to the hospital for a checkup.

Disease factors of yellow urine

Cystitis:

In addition to the medical history and physical signs, the diagnosis of acute cystitis requires a midstream urine test. There are pus cells and red blood cells in the urine, and the urine is yellow. For timely treatment, the urine smear can be first tested with Gram stain to preliminarily determine the nature of the bacteria. At the same time, bacterial culture, colony counts and antibiotic sensitivity tests can be performed to provide more accurate basis for future treatment. The white blood cell count in the blood is elevated. In acute cystitis, cystoscopy is not recommended.

The diagnosis of chronic cystitis requires a detailed and comprehensive examination of the urogenital system to determine whether there is a chronic kidney infection. Males/patients need to exclude penile capitis and prostatic seminal vesiculitis; females/patients should exclude urethritis, urethral diverticulum, cystocele, vaginitis, and urethral hymen parasol or fusion.

prostatitis:

Acute bacterial prostatitis develops suddenly, with chills and high fever, frequent urination, urgency, and pain. Dysuria or acute urinary retention may occur. Clinically, it is often accompanied by acute cystitis. The prostate is swollen, tender, and has a local temperature increase. The surface is smooth, and there is a feeling of fullness or fluctuation when abscesses form.

Chronic bacterial prostatitis has symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, pain, urethral discomfort or burning during urination. White discharge often flows out of the urethra after urination and defecation. Sometimes there may be blood in semen, perineal pain, sexual/dysfunction, and mental and neurological symptoms. The prostate is full, enlarged, soft, and slightly tender. In patients with a long course of disease, the prostate shrinks, hardens, has an incomplete surface, and has small nodules.

The clinical manifestations of chronic nonbacterial prostatitis and prostatitis are similar to those of chronic bacterial prostatitis, but there is no history of recurrent urinary tract infections. The main symptoms are urinary tract irritation and dysuria, especially the manifestations of chronic pelvic pain syndrome. Mycoplasma and chlamydia can be cultured in the prostatic fluid of some patients.

The above are the possible factors that I introduced to you about why men’s urine is very yellow. In daily life, especially male friends should pay attention to drinking more water, learn to release stress, have a regular diet and rest schedule, and also pay attention to combining appropriate exercise. If the urine is still very yellow for a long time, you need to go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.
