A change in urine color to a light reddish-yellow can have several causes, ranging from dietary factors to mild dehydration or the presence of certain medications or foods. It may also indicate the presence of blood or pigments in the urine, which should be evaluated further.

• Consider if you have recently consumed foods like beets, berries, or certain food dyes, or taken medications that can alter urine color.
• Mild dehydration can concentrate urine, sometimes giving it a darker or reddish tint.
• If the color change persists, is accompanied by pain, burning during urination, or other symptoms like fever, it could suggest an infection or bleeding in the urinary tract.

It is important to consult a urologist or your primary care doctor to evaluate this change, especially if it continues or worsens, to rule out any underlying conditions. If you experience severe pain, difficulty urinating, or visible blood clots, seek emergency care promptly.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please tell me your age and gender.
