Why is female urine yellow and smelly?

Many women will find a problem when they go to the toilet, especially in the morning, that is, their urine has an unpleasant smell. So why does women’s urine have an odor of rhubarb? Is it caused by some diseases? If there is an unpleasant smell in female urine, it may be due to inflammation of the urethra. Because the unpleasant smell of rhubarb in urine is related to the urethra, if the above phenomenon occurs, it is most likely because there is a problem with the urethra.

Why does women's urine turn yellow and have an odor? In addition to being related to certain diseases, yellow urine with an odor is also related to one's own current condition. It may also be due to other factors such as diet and will disappear soon. Normal urine is light yellow in color. It is more clear when it is cold and more yellow when it is hot. This is related to sweating and how much water you drink, but it can also change with diet. If you consume an acidic diet, your urine will be dark in color, and if you consume an alkaline diet, your urine will be light in color. Changes in urine color like these are extremely short-lived and will quickly resolve on their own.

Normal fresh urine is light yellow in color because it contains a yellow pigment called urochrome. However, the color of urine can also be dark or light depending on the amount of water you drink. If you drink more water and urinate more, the proportion of urochrome in the urine will be smaller, and the color will be lighter; if you drink less water, the proportion of urochrome in the urine will be larger, and the color will appear yellow. If urine is left for some time, its color will become darker. This is because some of the urochrome in the urine has been oxidized into urochrome. The waste produced by the human body and the urine pigments excreted every day are generally relatively constant, so the color of urine will not change much. 96%-99% of urine is water, and most of the rest is waste, such as uric acid, creatinine, etc. The normal daily urine volume of a person is 1000-2000 ml, among which women's is 1000-1500 ml. The urine is light yellow in color, transparent, and has no precipitation or turbidity. Fresh urine has a special grassy aroma, but after being left for a long time, it will produce ammonia due to decomposition.

Yellow urine with odor in women can also be caused by the following diseases:

There are many reasons why women's urine turns yellow, such as getting angry, staying up late, overusing the eyes, drinking too much alcohol, eating carrots, taking Chinese and Western medicines such as riboflavin, Sulfate, Metformin, and rhubarb, drinking less water, etc., which may cause the urine to turn yellow. However, if the patient has hepatitis, the urine is generally yellow. It is recommended to go to the hospital to check liver function to see if blood bilirubin is elevated. If it is normal, there is no need to worry.

Generally speaking, changes in urine color are accompanied by related symptoms. Although the color of urine can tell us about some diseases, we should not panic when we see the color change, because the color of urine is also related to diet and medication. The most common symptom is bright yellow urine when eating a lot of carrots; taking the Chinese medicine rhubarb can make the urine dark yellow like strong tea.

Pathological yellow urine needs to be treated by treating internal heat. Drink more water and eat more fruits.

Now you know why women's urine turns yellow and has an odor. Women's urine turns yellow and has an odor, which may be related to their usual diet. Excessive consumption of irritating foods can make the urine yellow. Excessive drinking by women can also cause the urine to turn yellow and have an odor.
