Why is my urine color unusual?

Hello, this is Dr. Kyungho Ryu from Goldman Urology Clinic, Gangnam.

I understand that you may be concerned about the sudden change in urine color and the sound during urination. In many cases, urine appearing light green or greenish is more often caused by external factors rather than an internal medical issue.

Commonly, multivitamins, supplements, or certain food colorings can affect urine color as their components are excreted through the urine. If you are taking any medications, their ingredients may also temporarily cause a greenish discoloration of urine.

However, in rare cases, urine color changes may be associated with a urinary tract infection caused by specific bacteria. Therefore, it is important to check whether you have accompanying symptoms such as pain during urination or a sensation of incomplete emptying.

While this may be a temporary condition, if the symptoms persist or recur, it would be advisable to undergo a urinalysis to determine the exact cause.

At our clinic, we carefully evaluate each patient’s symptoms and overall health condition based on extensive clinical experience, providing accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans.

Identifying the exact cause is the first step toward effective treatment.

If your symptoms persist, we recommend visiting a urology clinic for further evaluation.

Thank you, and we hope this information was helpful.
