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.
What Causes Reddish Colored Urine During Pregnancy?
I am 22 weeks pregnant, I had went to use the restroom about 20 minutes ago and my urine was a redish orangish color. My mother had said to drink a lot of water, so I drank about a bottle and half, went again, and my urine was back to a yellow. Is there any worry?
Sometimes, what appears to be blood in urine is actually red pigment from other sources such as food dyes, medications, or an excessive amount of beets.
Common causes of blood in urine include:
Bladder or kidney infections, Bladder or kidney stones, Certain medications such as aspirin, penicillin, heparin, cyclophosphamide; Kidney injury from an accident or sports, Vigorous exercise etc.
If the reddish coloration of urine continues, please consult your treating gynecologist.
