Question
The urine has been yellowish and occasionally cloudy for about a month, and I’m not sure if it’s related to formula milk intake. I haven’t had a professional diagnosis yet and would like to know the possible causes and solutions.
Answer
Yellow urine may be caused by insufficient water intake, leading to a relatively high proportion of urobilin in the urine. Additionally, prolonged urine storage can also cause the color to darken. Generally, the amount of waste and urobilin produced by the human body each day is relatively stable, so there should not be significant changes in urine color. Urine is composed of about 96%-99% water, with other main components including uric acid, creatinine, and other waste products.
