Do keto supplements give a brown color to urine?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 19 years old and I have been using a Keto Go Slim advanced tablet for eleven days. And for the past four days, I have been getting a brown-colored drop every time I start to pee.
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
It sounds like you are experiencing brown-colored drops at the start of urination, which could indicate several things, including:
-
Blood in urine (hematuria): This can be due to a mild urinary tract infection (UTI), kidney stones, or even irritation from dehydration.
-
Effect of keto supplements: Some keto supplements can cause dehydration, which may lead to concentrated urine or mild irritation.
-
Menstrual irregularity: If you are female, this could be related to hormonal changes or spotting.
-
Liver or kidney issues: Some supplements can put a strain on the liver or kidneys, leading to changes in urine color.
Management:
Since this has been happening for four days, I would recommend:
-
Stopping the keto supplement temporarily to see if symptoms improve.
-
Drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated.
-
Check for other symptoms like pain, burning, or fever.
-
If this persists or worsens, it is best to see a doctor to rule out any underlying issues.
I hope this has helped you.
Please feel free to reach out to me again if you have further queries
Thank you.
