Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 77 year old female - over the past couple of months I have noticed that my urine is cloudy - sometime more so than others & sometimes it becomes completeltely normal looking - is this anything to worry about - incidentally I don t have any back pain or burning - thank you
Normal urine is clear and has a straw-yellow color. When the urine does not have its characteristic clear appearance, it is often referred to as cloudy, turbid, or foamy urine
Cloudy or foamy urine may occur occasionally due to mild dehydration; when it occurs in the absence of symptoms and goes away rapidly, it is usually of little consequence. Certain conditions can cause excess protein or crystalline substances in the urine, causing it to persistently appear cloudy or foamy
Infections anywhere in the urinary tract can cause blood and pus to appear in the urine, giving it a cloudy appearance. Additionally, many of the numerous causes of blood in the urine can yield a cloudy or murky appearance to the urine due to the presence of blood
As you are telling that there is no symptoms or paid etc so nothing to worry
Drink sufficient water
Wish You Good Health
Regards
Dr Sridhar K
