Just so you know: it's not dangerous at all. It's simply your body eliminating what it doesn't need. Clever , isn't it?
Dark yellow to amber: a slight sign of dehydration
A deeper yellow or amber hue? Your body is subtly telling you it would like a small glass of water.
The right thing to do: drink some water, wait a few hours, and take another look. If the color lightens, everything is fine.
Orange: watch out for your liver
Orange urine can be linked to mild dehydration, certain supplements, or your liver working a little too hard .
When to consult? If this color persists, especially when accompanied by a yellowish complexion or very light stools, talk to your doctor.
Pink or red: not always worrying, but worth checking.
Have you eaten beets or red berries? No problem. Otherwise, this color could indicate the presence of blood.
Not to be overlooked: even if you feel fine, pinkish urine always warrants a quick check-up , just in case.
Dark brown: that's when the alarm bells start ringing.
A cola color can reveal significant dehydration or other internal signals that should not be ignored.
Urgency: if this brown hair is accompanied by fatigue or pain, consult a doctor quickly.
Blue or green: rare, but possible
No, this is not a joke. Certain medications, food colorings, or very specific situations can give your urine a surprising color.
