Brief Answer:
Urine exam for color change, Yeast needs treatment if symptoms.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

i read your question and i understand your concern. Black color urine needs evaluation and clinical correlation as from infections like UTI to many innocuous foods and medications can cause change in urine color. Even Dehydration and drinking less water may make the urine color change and can be mimicked as a disease. I would suggest a urine routine exam and see what is the reason for this reason color change of urine.

If you have symptoms of yeast like irritation, itching or discharge then you likely have a yeast infection. Talk to your gynecologist for short ocurse vaginal therapies or single dose oral therapies and rule out any other complicated yeast infection which will need prolonged medications intake.

Modify coital and toilet habits, maintain good hygiene, keep the area hair free and sweat free. Abstain from intimacy for a while. avoid or minimize douching and digital manipulation. Boric acid suppositories and yogurt intake also helps.

Nutshell, Urine exam for color change and yeast treatment if symptoms persists with focus on preventive and precautionary measures.

I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
