The color of urine is changing, is there a stone in the gall bladder?

Gallbladder Stone Symptoms: Changing the color of urine can be a sign of gallbladder stone. If there is a stone in the gall bladder, timely identification and treatment can prevent it.

 

Gallbladder Stone Symptoms : The color of urine indicates our health. In normal conditions, its color is light yellow or transparent . But if there is a constant change in it, it can be dangerous . Sometimes dark yellow, brown or red color of urine indicates stones in the gall bladder. Gallstones are a serious problem which gradually affects the body and can cause major problems if not treated on time.

 

Dr. Mahesh Gupta says that the color of urine can be the first sign of diseases hidden in the body. If the urine is dark or of an unusual color, do not ignore it at all and get it checked immediately.

Main causes of gallstones

• Obesity and irregular lifestyle
• Pregnancy or hormonal changes in women
• Sugar and high cholesterol

Relation between change in the color of urine and stones

• Dark yellow or brown urine – this could indicate a liver or gallbladder problem
• Red or pink urine – bleeding due to stone
• Foamy or dark urine – pressure on the liver or a urinary tract problem

Other symptoms of gallstones

• Sharp or intermittent pain in the right side of the abdomen
• Indigestion, gas, and heartburn
• Vomiting or nausea
• Yellowing of the eyes and skin ( signs of jaundice )

How to prevent stones?

• Stay away from oily and junk food
