What causes yellow urine in men?

Some male friends may find that their urine is a little yellow when they go to the toilet. In fact, this is a common symptom. Many people think that yellow urine is caused by getting angry, and taking some anti-inflammatory medicine can relieve it. In fact, there are many reasons for yellow urine. Only after the cause is clear can the symptom be treated. Next, let’s take a look at what is the reason for male yellow urine?

Food reasons: Food has an impact on yellow urine. If the urine is dark yellow, it may be caused by eating a lot of foods such as carrots and papayas, or Chinese medicine rhubarb, vitamins and other medicines. At this time, the urine will turn dark yellow, and it will return to normal as long as you stop eating.

Drinking water: Drinking less water is also one of the reasons for yellow urine. The reason why urine is light yellow is because it contains a yellow urochrome. If you drink less water, the proportion of urochrome in your urine is high, and the color appears yellow.

Drugs: Drugs can also have a certain effect on the color of urine. For example, when taking vitamin B, rifampicin, etc., the color of urine will become darker, but it will naturally improve after stopping the drug, so don't worry. However, if the color of urine is very dark and does not lighten after drinking water, or even looks like thick tea, you should pay attention.

Pathological causes: Certain diseases can also cause yellow urine. For example, patients with acute fever or vomiting and diarrhea will lose water in sweat or feces, so the urine will also become concentrated and yellow. When the liver or gallbladder is diseased, bile will be discharged from the urethra, making the urine dark yellow; the urine of hepatitis patients will also be dark tea-like in color. In addition, when the urinary organs become purulent, yellow and turbid purulent urine will also be discharged. Kidney qi is not solid and kidney deficiency can also cause yellow urine. In addition, yellow and turbid purulent urine is a manifestation of purulent urinary organs.

For yellow urine caused by the above three reasons, as long as you pay more attention to rest and drink some water properly, the symptom can be alleviated until it returns to normal. However, if the yellow urine persists for a long time, the patient must pay attention to it, because it is very likely caused by a disease. At this time, a comprehensive examination should be carried out as soon as possible in order to treat the symptoms.
