But one pharmacist has now issued an urgent warning about certain shades, claiming they could be a sign of something serious.

This even includes a rather innocent-seeming brownish yellow alongside more unusual colours like green, blue and red. Tackling blue and green first, Niamh McMillan, Superdrug’s Pharmacy Superintendent , explained: "In most cases green or even blue wee is nothing to worry about and more likely caused by green or blue dyes in food, particularly sweets, or medicine. "In some circumstances it can be a sign of a medical condition called Pseudomonas which is an infection which can affect your skin, blood and lungs.

Seek medical advice if you’re concerned." Generally, 'normal' urine is a pale shade of yellow, though its colour can change in response to health conditions, your diet and even medication. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
