What are the reasons for yellow urine in seven-month-old babies?

Many parents are worried about their seven-month-old baby's yellow urine. They are afraid that abnormal urination will cause serious harm to the child's urination and the child's body. So when babies in this period have yellow urine, many parents want to fully understand the reasons for the yellow urine. The following content gives specific answers to many parents, so you can have a comprehensive understanding.

1. Physiological yellow urine.

Yellow urine is one of the typical symptoms of children suffering from internal heat. Children have a faster metabolism, but their digestive system is immature. The secretion of gastric acid and digestive enzymes is low, and the activity of digestive enzymes is low. They cannot withstand large changes in dietary substances and quantities, which can easily cause "internal heat", commonly known as internal heat in traditional Chinese medicine. Improper diet or improper feeding methods can cause yellow urine.

2. Pathological yellow urine.

Urinary tract infection can cause yellow urine, but urinary tract symptoms are not obvious in newborns and infants under one year old. Most children only experience fever, reluctance to eat, pale complexion, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal distension and other systemic symptoms that are not caused by urinary tract infection. If you find that your baby cries when urinating, or has frequent urination or persistent diaper rash, there may be an infection of the urinary organs. You should see a doctor as soon as possible and have a regular urine test.

Normal and abnormal urine volume in babies

normal:

The amount of urine produced by babies varies at different ages. In the first few days after birth, the baby's urine volume may be very small, about 80 ml, because the baby eats less; 3 to 4 days, the urine volume is 30 to 300 ml; 10 days to 2 months, the urine volume is about 400 to 500 ml; 1 to 3 years old, the urine volume is about 500 to 600 ml. Due to individual differences, daily water intake, temperature and other factors, urine volume can vary greatly.

abnormal:

If the baby's urine volume in a day is more than 3000 ml/square meter of body surface area, it is polyuria. If the baby eats and drinks a lot at the same time, but loses weight, then he may have diabetes. If the baby is thirsty and drinks a lot at the same time, he may have diabetes insipidus. If the daily urine volume is less than 250 ml/square meter of body surface area, it is oliguria; if accompanied by diarrhea, thirst, dry lips, and no tears, it indicates water loss in the body; if accompanied by edema and high blood pressure, you may have kidney disease.

Normal and abnormal urine color

normal:

The urine just excreted by infants and young children has a faint fragrance. After being left for a period of time, the urea in the urine decomposes into ammonia, and a distinct ammonia odor may appear.

abnormal:

If your baby's newly excreted urine has a special musty smell and his intelligence gradually declines, you should be alert to the possibility of phenylketonuria, which requires immediate diagnosis and treatment. The right diet can save your baby's life.

What are the reasons for seven-month-old babies' yellow urine? After fully understanding the above introduction and knowing the reasons, many parents must pay attention to it and take their children to a large hospital as soon as possible. Through a comprehensive examination, find out the cause, and through comprehensive treatment as soon as possible, let the child's urination and defecation return to normal as soon as possible so that the child can grow normally.
