Follow us After you hit the restroom, how often have you tried (or thought) of turning around and giving your pee a check before flushing. If your answer is no, well, honey it’s time you start giving it a look. 8 ways your pee is trying to tell you something! (Getty Image)After you hit the restroom, how often have you tried (or thought) of turning around and giving your pee a check before flushing. If your answer is no, well, honey it’s time you start giving it a look. Because the colour and odour of your urine can tell you a lot about your body. So, if your pee looks, smells or feels like any of these 8 signs, you need to go see a doctor.A burning sensation A burning sensation during urination should not be overlooked at any cost because it may be indicating a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI).Referred to as dysuria, burning urination or painful urination are either caused by infectious STDs such as chlamydia and gonorrhea or non-infectious conditions, but it is most commonly due to bacterial infection of the urinary tract.Your pee has a sweet scent Blame it on the vanilla ice cream you ate last night. "The sweet smell in the urine is often an important clue in the diagnosis of diabetes,” says Holly Phillips, a women’s health specialist. It can indicate that the blood-sugar level is not under control. So consult your doctor before diabetes gets out of control.Urine appears cloudy What is cloudy urine? A normal urine is clear and yellow in colour, but when the same urine appears milky and foamy, you should know it's a cloudy urine. Consider it a warning sign that an infection has taken hold of your system. “The cloudiness comes from the excretion of bacteria and leukocytes, which are cells that fight infection,” says Phillips.It looks pinkish or reddish It could be a sign of the red-purple colored veggies or fruits (beets and blackberries) you ate. If not, then it could be a sign of the presence of blood in your pee. Consult your doctor immediately.It smells foul Agreed that urine isn't supposed to smell like vanillas and roses, but if the smell has a pretty foul odour (like rotten fish), it's your bladder trying to alarm you of an infection. Although the odour of urine can vary day-to-day and vagina-to-vagina, but in most cases it does not have a strong smell. So watch out for the stink.Blood in the urine Referred to as hematuria, blood in the urine, accompanied by pain or no pain, is a serious medical condition caused by factors like cancer, infections and stones in the urinary tract. Instead of its normal pale yellow colour, the "bloody urine" will appear pink, red, brownish-red. As scary as it sounds, blood in the urine is not normal and hence should be further evaluated by a healthcare professional.The pee feeling that will never go away This is a classic symptom of UTI. The lining of your bladder and urethra becomes inflamed and irritated, leaving you with the constant urge to pee. As experts points out, once you are certain that you have been infected with UTI, you will need to increase your fluid intake. Unsweetened juices and water are considered the best option. AVOID alcohol and coffee at all costs. Try emptying your full bladder often as this will help expel the bacteria.Frequent urination If you are gulping down ounces of water, you will pee frequently. But if it is happening without too much water intake, it could suggest UTI. According to a 2009 study, urinating every two hours or more is considered to be frequent urination. Some of the common reasons why you are urinating more than usual could be: diabetes, swelling and infection of the urethra or vaginitis (swelling or discharge of the vulva and vagina), pregnancy and alcohol use. Aren't these enough to make you see the doctor.End of ArticleFOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA
