Has anyone here experienced very dark urine despite drinking quite a lot of water. I'm in meno and wondered if it was another symptom. I don't think I have an infection as no other symptoms!! I did read that B vitamins can cause this.X

Take a urine sample to your GP and get it checked out. Always best policy.

Hi Margaret.

Don't worry. My urine is slightly darker than it used to be and sometimes fizzy! I'm sure it is the peri and vitamins combination. If you are drinking plenty this will help if there is an infection. I sometimes think I have an infection because of the colour but when I get a sample checked its negative.

Hope this helps.

Helen.

Thanks ladies. I just feel so anxious today and convinced I may have something more serious. It is just one thing after another at the moment!! I think I may pop a sample into the GP just to make sure. I am sure it is nothing asI had an ultra sound recently and nothing on it.....but I'm sure you understand how the anxiety can get the better of of us all sometimes!!!!

Hi, Margareth, some similar thing happened to my husband, because of beets, lol. Just funny . But, I had a darker urine for a while, together with other per symptoms. If it comes to be your case, dont fret but always look for a doc if you feel there is more to that. Take care.
