Hello,XXXX
Welcome to HCM.
I am Dr Rakesh Sharma answering your query.
Pinkish urine is sign of very small quantity of blood is mixed in urine.
The only thing that gives color to urine is , if you have recently eaten some thing like Beetroot or artificial colored food item.
But to make sure you have to get your urine tested.
Once it is sure it is blood or not, then we will progress accordingly.
If you are taking aspirin you should stop it for a while.
Till then drink lot of water.If it is because of other reason like eating some thing it will be clear in about 24 hours.
Please get your urine tested and post the report.
Waiting for reports.
Good Luck.
