Cloudy urine in early pregnancy

Urination is a very important behavior for the human body. It can discharge excess water and useless products of metabolism from the human body. It is an important part of the metabolic system. Urine can also reflect a person's physical health. Some pregnant women in early pregnancy will have turbid urine. People need to pay special attention to this situation. Here we will introduce why the urine of early pregnant women is turbid.

There are several possibilities for turbid urine, the first of which is that you don’t drink enough water. In addition, after taking folic acid, many pregnant women will experience white sediment and turbidity in their urine. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up to rule out gynecological diseases such as vaginitis.

Generally speaking, normal urine is colorless and transparent, or light yellow, and no foreign matter can be observed with the naked eye. The pale yellow color is because the urine contains yellow urochrome. The amount of water you drink is one of the factors that affect the color of urine. For example, the more water you drink, the clearer the color of your urine will be; if you drink less water, your urine will look a little yellow because it is concentrated. If the urine is left to stand for some time, the color will become darker. This is because the urochrome in the urine turns into urochrome due to oxidation. For a healthy person, the production and excretion of urine pigments are relatively fixed every day, so the color of urine does not change much.

Of course, a person's urine will become concentrated after sweating a lot or drinking alcohol. However, if the urine not only becomes concentrated but also a little turbid, it should be a pathological manifestation. Excessive alkalinity of urine is the most common cause of turbid urine. Excessive alkalinity of urine can cause the precipitation of phosphate crystals in the urine, making the urine turbid. Some people with pyelonephritis may have cloudy urine, and some people with severe urine infections may also have cloudy urine.
