The first morning urination is a good mirror that can better reflect the health of the urogenital system, and is the best indicator of our lives and diet. From the color, smell, and state of urine, we can distinguish a variety of conditions, such as physical condition, whether the amount of water consumed is sufficient, and whether there is any disease in the body.
When the urine appears cloudy and the color is milky white, infection is generally the first thought. Indeed, the above situation occurs when there is an infection in the urinary system. If it is a severe urethritis, when you wake up in the morning, there will also be some purulent secretion at the urethral orifice. However, chyluria can also produce cloudy urine, which is milky white or like rice soup.
A red color in urine is likely a symptom of urinary tract infection, such as urethritis and urinary stones. If there are problems with frequent urination, urgency, or pain in urination while discharging red urine, it is recommended to have a relevant examination of the urinary system to avoid missing the best opportunity for treatment. Sometimes eating vegetables and fruits with natural pigments such as carrots can also make your urine appear reddish. However, this phenomenon is only temporary, and drinking more water will restore the situation.
If there is blood in the urine, there must be an abnormal problem in the body. However, hematuria can occur due to infections, stones, tumors, etc. in any part of the urinary system, and some systemic diseases can also cause hematuria. Therefore, the causes of hematuria are very complex. Once hematuria occurs, seek medical attention from the hospital as soon as possible, identify the cause, and provide symptomatic treatment to avoid delaying the best opportunity for treatment.
If the urine turns yellow like purulent tea for a long time, it indicates that there is a problem with the liver. Inflammation, tumors, and stones in the bile ducts inside and outside the liver can lead to yellowing of the urine. If there is a long-term yellowing problem with the urine, it is important to pay attention to other symptoms around you, such as jaundice, fatigue, upper abdominal discomfort, and pain, and promptly go for a relevant liver examination. However, if you only have yellow urine once or twice, the time is short, and there are no other discomfort, this can be reassuring.
Bifurcation of urine indicates prostatitis, which is a misconception of many men. The main cause of bifurcations in urine is the expansion of the prostate gland, which compresses the urethra. However, there are many reasons that can cause prostate expansion, such as inflammation and enlargement of the prostate, hyperplasia of the prostate, and even simple penile erection. Because when the penis is erect, the prostate gland also becomes congested, swollen, and secretes substances. Some men may have experienced an erection at night or after an erection in the morning, when they went to the bathroom to urinate, they found their urinary tract bifurcated. This is caused by an erection of the penis and is a normal phenomenon.
