Men don't pay much attention to their physical condition compared to women. It's easy to ignore some subtle changes in the body to miss the best treatment time for the disease!

For example, urination is the easiest thing for men to ignore. However, urination has always been known as a "health barometer" in the medical field. By observing the number and color of urination, we can make a preliminary judgment on the disease.

The main organ that generates urine in the human body is the kidney. After the urine is generated, it will be discharged into the bladder with the fallopian tube. When the urine accumulates to a certain amount, the urine will be produced and finally released from the body. Under normal circumstances, people in good health should urinate in a light yellow and transparent state and urinate clearly without any impurities!

However, after all, urination is composed of excess water and metabolic waste in the body. Therefore, problems in diet, drinking water, and drugs will affect the color of urination and lead to abnormal yellow urination. For example, drinking too little water, eating a lot of food containing yellow pigment, or taking vitamin B2 tablets and other drugs will change the color of urine.

But this change is very short-lived, and there are no other discomfort symptoms in the body. After stopping the medication and resuming drinking water, the urine color will gradually become normal.

However, suppose the urine has appeared abnormally yellow recently, and the symptoms are not relieved no matter how to change the drinking water and diet. In that case, it may be related to the following problems:

1. Prostatitis

Prostatitis is one of the most common diseases in men. It is clinically divided into acute and chronic types. After the illness, the patient may have many symptoms, such as frequent urination, urgent urination, incomplete urination, yellowing of urine, etc. If you have acute bacterial prostatitis and yellow urine, you can also have fever, nausea, and vomiting symptoms.

Patients with acute bacterial prostatitis should be treated with antibiotics first. The first choice of antibiotics is quinolone ofloxacin or levofloxacin and cephalosporin antibiotics cefixime and cefdinir.

If the effect of oral drugs is not apparent, or it turns chronic, you can choose the natural medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill for treatment. If the patient has chills, high fever, and other systemic symptoms, carry out an intravenous infusion of antibiotics when necessary. At the same time, patients also need to drink more water and urinate frequently.

2. Urinary tract infection

For example, patients with cystitis and urethritis will have symptoms such as yellowing of urine. Moreover, affected by inflammatory stimulation, it can also have symptoms such as frequent micturition, urgency, and pain.

In addition, the patient's urethra will also have a slight burning or itching sensation when urethritis occurs. But because these symptoms are similar to prostatitis, which type of disease needs further examination? Patients can choose the Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill for treatment, whether it is prostatitis, cystitis, urethritis, etc.

3. Fever

From a clinical point of view, fever is a standard protective mechanism of the human body.

After invading pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria, the immune system will react quickly and gather white blood cells to fight them. In this process, fever factors will be released, resulting in fever symptoms.

Fever will consume a lot of water in the body. If you don't replenish moisture in time, the urine will gradually concentrate, showing a yellowing state.

4. Liver damage

There seems to be no correlation between the liver and urination, but the liver has an important role: detoxification! The toxin "bilirubin" produced in the human body must be metabolized through the liver and synthesized into bile.

When the liver is damaged, it can affect the metabolism of bilirubin, which then flows into the urine, and bilirubin is just orange, so the urine will turn dark yellow or even show a dark tea color!

In most cases, urine yellowing is caused by a lack of water in the body. Especially in the summer and on wet days, the weather is relatively hot, and the water consumption of the human body is fast. Urine color will naturally change if the water is not supplemented in time. Or eating too spicy food, excessive urine concentration, and increasing the specific gravity of urine will also lead to yellowing urine.

Usually, increasing the amount of drinking water and eating more fresh vegetables and fruits can improve symptoms. However, if the urine is still yellow under the condition of regular replenishment, it needs to be vigilant and checked in time.
