Is Bright Yellow Colored Urine A Cause Of Concern?
Question: What does it mean when your urine is a bright yellow and even when i wipe its yellow on the toilet paper?? I have recently had an ultrasound and it was fine except i have a small stone , non obstructing. Just sitting there.
Brief Answer:
Urine color
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
A bright yellow is not a concerning color for urine. One of the most common causes for an almost fluorescent yellow color is from B-vitamins.
Pigments in foods and medicine can cause changes in urine color that are not a concern.
If there is pain or burning or redness, then it can indicate a problem. Also dark brown urine can be an indication of a problem with the liver or gall bladder.
I hope this information helps. Please let me know if I can provide further information or clarification.

Thank you. I drank more and its better but i was diagnosed with a yeast infection about a week or so ago and i was using the outer cream and my symptoms disappeared. I never used the suppositories though. Could this be the yeast infection back still? And i really dont have color in my discharge except for 2 times i had peed and it was a bright yellow and when i wiped it was yellow on the toilet paper. I am starting to get a small itch back. Im wondering if i should use the suppositories or just wait it out because my period is due soon.
Brief Answer:
Not from yeast.
Detailed Answer:
No, a vaginal yeast infection won't make urine brighter yellow. With a bad yeast infection, the vaginal discharge can be white and curdy, dark yellow, brown, or greenish, but not bright yellow. And urine can be mucousy or bloody with a yeast infection (although usually not) but not bright yellow.
It may be that the urine was just more concentrated than usual.
If the itch is bad enough, go ahead and use the suppositories now. Although it won't hurt anything if you wait until after your period is over and then use it then.
