Brief Answer:
dehydration, hepatobilliary concern or drug induce

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Orange coloured urine can be due to dehydration ( highly concentrated urine), drugs (like vitamin b complex or rifampicin or sulfasalazine or phenazopyridine, some chemotheray drugs), some hepatobilliary disease, laxatives use.

In an otherwise healthy individual, it is mostly due to dehydration in which urine comes out highly concentrated and warm feeling sensation while urination. Drinking as much as water(4 to 5 liter/ day) will cure your problem, if there is no contraindications.

Can you just tell me about your medical history of any disease or medication taking currently which can give better clue.

Do not hesitate to ask me any query further.

Hope you understand my point.
Thanks and Regards,
