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.
Hello. I have had a slight soreness close to my waistline on my left side for the last couple of days. This morning I had dark Coca-Cola colored urine. I have made an appointment to see my doctor this afternoon. I have never had a uti...could this be one? YYYY@YYYY
Hi, I can understand how you are feeling. Yes, sometimes urinary tract infection causes dark color urine with lower abdominal pain and back pain. Other condition which causes the same symptoms are any calculi (stone) in the kidney or urinary tract. Drinking plenty of oral fluids might help the condition. To investigate the exact cause you can go for urine routine test, urine culture and sensitivity, Scan of abdomen and pelvis. Get well soon.
