Dark Urine??????

OK, so this might sound a little gross, but since I had surgery and I go to the bathroom my urine has been dark and I have this clear "mucus-like" stuff come out when I wipe. Just wanted to know if anyone else had this or heard of this?

Hi Cindy, I wonder if it's not a little bit of irritation from when the catheter was in. My urine is a little darker too, but I chalk it up to the multivits, calcium ect... If you have discomfort in the abdominal area, then I would call your Doc. Isn't it common for a lot of people to get a UTI after a catheter? Keep an eye on it. Byeee~~~~

ARe you getting enough to drink? Urine can become dark if you're dehydrated. You might want to call your doc and follow up though, just to be safe. Take care, Amy

I agree with Amy, call your doc. It is prob due to dehydration and your urine being to concentrated.....However it could be other things such as an infection so best bet is to call your doc....thats what they are there for. Hope you are feeling well. LisaMarie

Yeah, I told my hubby and he said the same thing that Amy & LisaMarie said... it's probably dehydration and he wants me to drink. I haven't drank at all cause I'm not thirsty.... so I'm drinking some Crystal Light as I'm typing this.... Actually sipping it. No discomfort in the tummy area or anything -- just a little heartburn but nothing too crazy! My hubby bought me sugar free Tums since it's got calcium in it too.
