Brief Answer: less intake of water, hot temperature, UTI Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for consulting HealthcareMagic! It may be due to less intake of water, hot temperature due to summer but it may also be due to urinary tract infection. I suggest you to take 3 to 4 liters of water per day provided you do not have any medical conditions contraindicating it. Still if there is no improvement in couple of days, you may need to undergo complete urine examination to know if there is any infection. Stay healthy and thank you for consulting! You can contact me again anytime, if you need clarifications or further assistance in future. Kindly rate the answer if you are satisfied.
