Sometimes it is a matter of hygiene or medicines, and sometimes a kidney transplant is needed.
Healthy urine color is from light yellow to dark amber, while quite transparent. The liquid is clouding if there are cells, salts, bacteria or many protein crystals in it.
1. Vaginal discharge in women
The urethra hole is located 1-2 centimeters above the vagina, therefore, if hygiene is not observed, natural discharge can fall into the urine, making it muddy.
If a woman has vaginitis, or inflammation of the vagina, then there will be more discharge and the likelihood will increase that they will fall into urine.
What to do
This is usually noticed in the analysis of urine. Therefore, the doctor who prescribed the study may ask to repeat it in compliance with the following rules:
- Wash the genitals from front to back.
- A little to the toilet.
- Collect an average portion of urine in a container.
- End to the toilet.
- Deliver a sample to the laboratory for 60 minutes.
2. Cum in men
Sometimes, after ejaculation, part of the sperm on the urethra returns to the bladder. This is called retrograde ejaculation, and it leads to the appearance of muddy urine. Pathology develops with diabetes, prostatitis, after surgery on the prostate or due to the use of drugs for high pressure.
What to do
You may have to change the drug or stop taking it if it caused retrograde ejaculation. And with diabetes or after surgical intervention, medications will be needed to normalize sperm excretion.
3. Side effect of drugs
Clouding of urine may appear due to the use of drugs that are used to treat a hyperactive bladder or kidney cancer or digestive tract. This is a side effect of medicines.
What to do
If undesirable effects have appeared when using drugs, this must be urgently informed the doctor who prescribed them. It is possible that the drugs will have to be changed.
4. Urinary tract infections
Bacteria can cause inflammation of the kidneys, bladder or urethra, which will lead to clouding of urine. In this case, other symptoms will appear:
- a strong desire to urinate;
- rapid urination in small portions;
- burning and pain in the urethra;
- a urine with a strong smell,
- blood or pus in the urine.
Depending on the type of disease, an increase in body temperature, abdominal pain, pubic or in the lower back may also be noted.
What to do
You need to contact a urologist. The doctor will prescribe a suitable antibiotic to combat infection. And to reduce pain, it will recommend over -the -counter analgesics.
5. Non -infectious cystitis
Sometimes inflammation of the bladder is not associated with infection, but urine also becomes muddy and other symptoms appear:
- burning and itching during urination;
- frequent urge to the toilet, including at night;
- reduction in a portion of urine;
- incontinence;
- Changing the smell and color of urine.
This is how non -infectious cystitis is manifested, which sometimes occurs after the transmitted severe infections of the bladder, radiation and chemotherapy, as well as due to the use of certain hygienic agents and spermicidal contraceptives.
What to do
You need to contact a urologist. The causes of clouding of urine can not always be eliminated, but the doctor will prescribe drugs that reduce pain, or drugs for relaxing the bladder. Also, acute food, alcohol, citrus fruits and caffeine need to avoid – all this can irritate the organs of the excretory system.
6. Stones in the kidneys
Often a person does not even know about them: there are no symptoms. But the larger the stone, the more signs appear. It can be:
- severe bilateral pain in the lower back;
- prolonged abdominal pain without clear localization;
- urine with blood;
- nausea and vomiting;
- fever, chills;
- muddy urine with an unpleasant smell.
What to do
It all depends on the symptoms, the size of the stones, their composition, density and shape. In some cases, doctors prescribe drugs to change the acidity of urine to dissolve the stones. If they are large and block the ureter, then the operation is d1. Sometimes you can do without it and crush the formation with a shock -wave lithotripsy. During this procedure, ultrasonic waves are directed to the kidneys, which crumble stones. Their fragments then come out in the urine.
7. Glomerulonephritis
This is a disease in which kidney glomerulus inflammation – small plexus of blood vessels, filtering blood. Typically, the disease is asymptomatic, but in severe forms or in advanced cases, urine becomes dark, muddy, its volume is significantly reduced, blood impurities may appear. Edema also occurs in different parts of the body, reduced attentiveness, increases blood pressure.
What to do
The doctor will prescribe a special diet, diuretics, immunosuppressants and drugs to reduce blood pressure. Dialysis or kidney transplant will be needed if the organ stops performing its function.
8. Papilllar renal necrosis
At the same time, papillae dies in the kidneys, along which urine falls into the cups and further – to the ureters. Necrosis can develop for various reasons. For example:
- Excessive reception of painkillers;
- diabetes;
- kidney infection (pyelonephritis);
- rejection of a transplanted kidney;
- sickle cell anemia;
- Ground blockage.
With necrosis, pain in the side or back appears, body temperature rises, urine becomes muddy, bloody or dark, pieces of tissues can be seen in it. Sometimes it hurts to go to the toilet, the urge becomes frequent, and urination is difficult. Sometimes incontinence occurs.
What to do
A renal failure may develop due to papillary necrosis, so you need to get to the doctor as soon as possible. He will prescribe treatment depending on the cause of the disease. In severe cases, dialysis or kidney transplant is required.
9. Acute nephritic syndrome
This is the name of a group of symptoms that are the same for any renal pathology: muddy or bloody urine, edema of the face and limbs, increased blood pressure, a decrease in a portion of urine and general malaise. These signs arise due to various diseases that damage the kidneys. Among such ailments:
- Hemolytic -Umileic syndrome – a condition in which red blood cells are destroyed due to infection of the digestive tract.
- Purpura Shenlein – Genokha – a disease of the immune system, in which purple spots appear on the skin, the vessels of the intestines and kidneys are damaged.
- IGA -nefropathy is a pathology in which imperunoglobulin proteins accumulate.
- Post -Straptococcal glomerulonephritis – inflammation of the kidneys that occurs after an anguine or skin infection.
- Abscesses of the abdominal cavity.
- Gudpascher Syndrome is a disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the kidneys.
- Hepatitis B or with.
- Endocarditis – inflammation of the inner shell of the heart.
- Lupus nephritis. It occurs in the kidneys against the background of an autoimmune disease – a systemic lupus erythematosus.
- Vasculitis, or vascular inflammation.
- Viral infections: measles, mononucleosis, mumps. They are able to cause an abnormal immune reaction.
What to do
The main goal of therapy in acute nephritic syndrome is to support the body, reduce the symptoms and prevent a person from dying. To improve the condition of the kidneys, doctors prescribe a diet with low salt, potassium and fluid limitation. Also prescribe medications for pressure and to reduce inflammation. In some cases, dialysis will be needed.
