If
your urine color is cloudy or looks like milky urine, it could be a sign
of a serious illness.
Some possible causes of cloudy urine are:
-
Foods you have eaten can cause a change in the consistency
and color of your urine, although they are not the usual cause of cloudy
urine.
- Blood in urine may cause the urine to be cloudy.
- A urinary tract infection can cause cloudy urine. The urinary tract infection may be accompanied with burning or painful urination.
- A bladder infection, also known as Cystitis, may cause cloudy urine. The bladder infection may also be accompanied by painful urination, difficulty in urination and frequent urination.
- Kidney stones may cause cloudy urine. If you have kidney stones, the pain of the stones may lead you to see a doctor more quickly than the cloudy urine. Kidney stones are not fun.
- Gonorrhea may cause cloudy urine, but this is more likely a vaginal discharge that creates the appearance of cloudy urine. Keep in mind that Gonorrhea is a curable sexually transmitted disease.
There are more possible causes of cloudy urine, but at this point, you probably just need to go and see the doctor and stop trying to diagnose yourself. Obviously, the above mentioned causes of cloudy urine are serious, and if you have any of these symptoms you should see a doctor immediately.
