The yellow color in urine is due to chemicals called urobilins. When red blood cells get broken down, the stuff that makes them red ( known as haem, or heme if you're in the USA) is broken down into yellow bilirubin. The liver then converts the bilirubin into a soluble form that can be excreted, and some of this ends up in the urine, after further chemical reactions which turn it into substances called urobilins (which are also yellow).
It's due to excretion of urochrome, a blood pigment. Urochrome is a yellow-colored pigment that gives the color to urine.

Why did pee-wee Herman get fired?
On July 26, 1991, Reubens was arrested in Sarasota, Florida for masturbating publicly in an adult theater during a screening of Nurse Nancy. The news media went into a frenzy and the scandal marked the near-death of the character "Pee-wee Herman," reducing both the actor and the persona to a ubiquitous punchline. Although the series Pee-wee's Playhouse had already ended by that time, CBS reacted by dropping its reruns from their lineup. Reubens made a deal with the Sarasota County court: in exchange for a fine and producing a few PSAs, he was given a clean record.
Despite the negative publicity and backlash from CBS, many spoke out in support of Reubens. Bill Cosby defended Reubens, saying "Whatever (Reubens has) done, this is being blown all out of proportion." Reubens' fans also organized rallies of support. According to Entertainment Weekly, "several dozen vocal Pee-weeites picketed in L.A. and New York [a week later], and 250 demonstrated in San Francisco the following day." Supportive fans chanted, "All we are saying is give Pee-wee a chance!"[9][10]
2002
Reubens was arrested again in 2002 in connection with an investigation involving child pornography. Public news stories concerning his case cast doubt upon the suggestion that Reubens intentionally acquired child pornography, as he stated that he was a collector of "erotic artwork" and that he had a sizable collection of vintage erotica with samples dating back to the 18th century. On March 19, 2004, child pornography charges against him were dropped by Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo after Reubens pleaded guilty to a separate "misdemeanor obscenity" charge.
"The DA waited 364 days (one day before the statute of limitations would have run out) and then alleged that some of it was 'child pornography' - decades-old physique poses, old art photos, and yellowed nudist magazines. Some of the nude photos were of minors - when the pictures were taken many years ago. All of the photos, Reubens maintained, were legal when they were first published. The charges were reduced to 'obscenity', and Reubens pleaded guilty and paid a US$100 fine in exchange for probation."[11] Said Reubens:
The 3 hormones that are produced to regulate urine are Aldosterone, AHD (antidiuretic hormone), and ANH (atrial natriuretic hormone). The Aldosterone is released when the blood pressure of the kidney is low. Aldosterones main purpose is to retain sodium and water or the reabsoption of salt. It is secreted by the adrenal cortex (adrenal glands). Antidiuretic hormone is a peptide hormone and is made by the hypothalamus gland it regulates the body's retention of water. A decrease is blood pressure triggers the release of the hormone from the posterior pituitary gland. Atrial Nariuretic hormone is secreted by the heart cells and regulates fluids in the body to help maintain homeostasis. Released ANH causes the kidneys to secret more sodium and lose more water.
What can cause your urine to have a burnt smell and your rectum to bleed heavily?
Please see a doctor immediately.
If a person has only one kidney by birth.what precaution should he take to lead a normal life?
Avoid excessive alcohol for prolonged periods. Ditto for medications that your body needs to filter. Drinking a 1/2 gallon of water a day (for an adult) as a minimum will keep your system pretty clean. Lead a healthy lifestyle with the most important thing being eating healthy food with a minimum of chemicals in them. Periodically detoxify your body. Your local health food store or GNC can set you up with something that should fit your body type and needs.
You will only have a urinalysis. Standard MEPS procedure is only to test by urine. While since as early as 2002, there has been discussion to include other methods of drug screening, e.g. hair, sweat, saliva, etc., there has been no conclusive proof that these practices are truly better or monetarily savvy.

If your having unprotected sex you need to make sure you clean yourself after , it's the sperm inside of you irritating your insides which will cause you to have an infection, has happened to me many a time. Just make sure you use the restroom and clean yourself after and you should be rid of your infections. if you don't plan on getting the infection.
Actually, the above mostly refers to vaginal infections and irritation. Having unprotected sex can transmit a lot worse diseases than urinary tract infections, but lets stick to the original question. What happens during sex that leads to urinary tract infections? Your urinary tract is not inside your vagina! But the opening to your urethra is within the inner labia between the clitoris and the vagina. That means that during sexual intercourse, the thrusting motion of a man's penis, or a dildo, whether protected by a condom or not, can cause bacteria from outside the body to be rubbed into the opening of the urethra. If not rinsed out, that bacteria can cause urinary tract infections. The longer and more physical the sex, the higher probability for some bacteria to work their way into the opening. Once again, it doesn't matter if the sex is protected or unprotected, bacteria can still slide, during all the friction and movement, from the outside of the body into this opening.
The best way to prevent Urinary tract infections happens after sex. Just get up (within 15 minutes or so, before you fall asleep) and go pee. Urine from inside your body is a sterile solution, and it will flush any bad bacteria out of the urethra. Washing externally or douching out the vagina will have no effect on the interior of the urethra. The only way, and coincidentally the easiest and safest possible treatment, is to flush your urinary tract by releasing your bladder.
I can't tell you how many times I wound up in an emergency room during a long holiday weekend before someone told me this simple fact. Pee after you have sex. Every time. Since I learned this, I have gone from chronic UTI infections to zero UTI infections in the last 15 years.
