Question
My urine is often yellow and occasionally a bit cloudy, and it has been like this for about a month now. I don’t know if it’s related to the consumption of formula milk. Have you seen a doctor? What kind of assistance do I need?
Answer
The color of urine is directly related to fluid intake. When you drink more water, the proportion of urochrome in the urine is smaller, resulting in a lighter color; conversely, when you drink less water, the proportion of urochrome is larger, making the urine appear more yellow. Additionally, if urine is left standing for too long, the color can become darker due to the transformation of some components in the urine over time. The amount of waste and urochrome produced by the human body each day is relatively stable, so the color of urine usually does not change significantly. Most of the components in urine are water, with other main components including uric acid, creatinine, and other waste products.
