urine! f/16
lately, my urine is darker and has a strong odor. i've had infections before but this time.. i'm not sure what it could be. there's no change in discharge, no burning when i pee, no cramps or sharp pains. Just orange tinted urine and a strong odor. It's not a bad odor, like a yeast infection, just.. has a really, really strong smell. could this be related to dehydration?

that does sound like dehydration. one day this summer i was outside and got really dehydrated and that's what happened to me (and i blacked out and fell down). it all got better once i started drinking water with meals and stuff. i read somewhere that the 8 glasses of water a day thing is somewhat of a myth because there is also water in the food that you eat, so don't go off and drink gallons or anything but you might want to change your water drinking habits just a little bit.
EDIT: hmm, well that's definitely weird then. normally that would happen to people that only drink soft drinks and stuff. if it doesn't go away in a few days, call your doctor and ask. because there's no pain, the only other thing i can think of is if you dramatically changed what you eat... but surely a doctor will know.

That happens to me when i drink too much soda, so ya try drinking water as much as possible, i mean a soda here and there should be alright.

It probably is related to dehydration. When you drink enough water, your urine is clear-ish, or very pale yellow. So try drinking more water and see what happens. If it still does not improve, you could always talk to a doctor to see what could be causing it.
If at anytime you notice pain while you pee, or see any of the following- cloudiness in urine, any blood (of course when you aren't on your period), mucus..then see a doc. right away, as it could be a sign of some sort of infection or other health problem.

Yes it is most likely that you are not drinking enough water. If i were you i would try and drink more water in my diet, then if it still did not change i would go to your doctor :) x x
