What colour is your urine?


There are many reasons for cloudy and discoloured urine.

I have a prostate problem and I go to the toilet quite often to urinate. Recently, however, my urine has been a little cloudy. Is this normal for someone with a prostate problem?

By prostate problem, I assume you mean you have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is a benign enlargement of the prostate associated with old age, and not the far more dangerous prostate cancer.

BPH does not give rise to cloudy urine on its own.

This means you might have some complications.

What sort of complications? Is urine meant to be cloudy?

Normal urine is usually straw-coloured yellow. It is not meant to be cloudy. Some people also refer to an alteration in the colour or consistency of the urine as foamy or turbid.
