Urinary Tract Infection Symptoms

Cloudy Urine

In healthy people, urine should be typically clear or light yellow. Any change in the clarity or color would suggest the presence of a possible health problem, such as STD, kidney stones, and urinary tract infection. Bacteria or fungi that trigger the infection would affect your body function in filtering wastes and excess liquids. As a result, your urine would become cloudy and odorous. You can easily check this symptom at home by catching urine in a clean jar or glass and letting it sit for around 60 minutes. Under the light, if you notice debris or a cloudy color, then it is a clear sign of a urinary tract infection. [4]
