What Causes Pink Colour Urination In An Elderly Person?

I ve been drinking pure cranberry juice for about a week now. My urine in the past 2 days has been pinkish in color occasionally.....as of last night and a short time ago it would appear that I m passing a couple of black bugs or parasites. Never had this happen before. I m 76

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to cranberry juice consumption. I suggest to drink liquids and avoid cranberry juice for a while. If you have other symptoms such as burning while urinating or pain in the bladder area you should do a urine test for further evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
