Brief Answer:
More information are needed....

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Before running into final conclusions, I need to have a few more info:
- have you consumed any food/drink containing green coloring recently?
- any medication you are using regularly or starting using recently?
- any personal history of urinary tract infections (UTI)?
- any test running so far?

UTI is most likely to suspect at your age, however, other causes should be ruled out as above. Urine analysis and urine culture advised in case of UTI.

For the moment, I only advise to drink plenty of water.

Hope it was of help!
