Brief Answer:
Get proper tests done.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX and welcome to HCM.
Well, i can understand your concern.
UTI is diagnosed by doing an urine culture along with urine routine test.
The discoloration of urine you describe, should have a cause for it.
Among the commonest is, UTI, being on medication, , stones, tumors, etc.
Check your blood sugar and kidney function tests. Also, do an ultrasound scan of abdomen, before you see your doctor or Urologist.
As an Urologist, i can tell you, maintain drinking 10-12 glasses of liquids daily.
Feel free to contact me anytime.
Wish you a speedy recovery.
