Question:
Does anyone know why urine would be red?
Freaking out here just went to the bathroom and my urine is red in color. No changes in diet. should I call the doctor or will it go away. — chirsw (posted on May 8, 2003)

you should call your doctor right away. urine should not be red. red
usually indicates blood in the urine which may only be an infection. but
it needs to be taken care of. i wouldn't worry about it tho, but call your
dr.

Did you eat beets? My urine turns red when I eat fresh beets. Yum! But it
sure scared the pee out of me when I saw that red color the first time.

The only time that has happened to me, I had kidney stones. It hurt like
crazy! I was in the hospital for 3 days! CALL THE DOCTOR!

are you taking phenazopyridine? It's a red pill that helps stop burning
from UTI's? This is notorious for causing red (or orange) urine. If not,
then definitely let your doc know!
