Q: I am a 30 years old male and have been passing coloured urine in the morning for the past few months. The urine becomes ok during the day. Is there something serious? I don't take alcohol and junk foods but my water intake is less. My stool timing is not regular and I am not taking any medicines also.

A:You need not worry much about high coloured urine in the morning. This is expected as we concentrate our urine while sleeping and in the morning we pass a little dark coloured urine. If it is not red coloured urine you should not worry. If you are still worried, get a urine microscopic examination to rule out any blood in urine.
