What is the superficial region of the kidney tissue?
The renal cortex is the outermost, or most superficial, region of the kidney.
You need to see a doctor. That's not good.
Can you do Kegel exercises if you are still a virgin?
Yes. The exercises involve tightening and releasing the muscles in the pelvic floor that are the same muscles used to "hold it in" when you need to urinate. They can be exercised the same whether you are a virgin or not. they are easily done by clenching these muscles.
Some women use exercise devices or tools that are inserted vaginally, and usually it is good to get an opinion from a gynecologist before using those tools, and especially in female virgins. These devices or Kegel exercisers are unnecessary and some are not effective, especially those that are for external use. See the related questions and links for more information.

Do you lose urinary volume during heat stroke?
Yes and no.
Dehydration is usually comorbid with (occurring alongside) heat stroke. One result of dehydration is reduced urine volume so, while a patient displaying symptoms of heat stroke will likely have reduced volume, it's not from the heat stroke itself.

Can viruses cause a urinary tract infection?
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a bacterial infection of the urinary system, which consists of the kidneys, ureter, bladder, and urethra. Urinary tract infections are one of the most common causes of doctor visits, especially for women.
Lower urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common among the general population and are most often caused by bacterial pathogens. Viruses are an uncommon cause of UTIs in an immunocompetent host; however, viruses are increasingly recognized as the cause of lower UTI, especially hemorrhagic cystitis, among immunocompromised patients. BK virus, adenovirus, and cytomegalovirus are predominant pathogens involved in hemorrhagic cystitis after stem cell and solid organ transplantation, and their early diagnosis and treatment may prevent significant morbidity of hemorrhagic cystitis. The diagnosis of viral lower UTI is based on molecular techniques, and real-time polymerase chain reaction is often the method of choice because it allows for quantification of viral load.
In the urinary system what does the trigone refer to?
The trigone is the area at the base of the bladder.

Yes.
The urethra is the tube which moves urine out of the body and is present in all women (and men).
What happens to native kidneys after transplant will they hurt?
The native kidneys stay in place after a kidney transplant, but they will atrophy. They will not hurt. They need to stay in place because the adrenal glands rest on top of them and you won't live without the adrenals. I have had a transplanted kidney for 17 years and have had no issues with the natives.
What are you going to palpate when the patient has urinary retention?
the bladder for distention, what else would you need to palpate.
Is bright yellow urine normal?
It's not necessarily a danger sign. You may be simply offloading a high concentration of vitamin C (which, when you over-consume, simply dumps the excess to the urine), or betacarotene, the precursor to vitamin A, and the coloring agent in lots of orange fruits and veggies such as carrots or cantaloupe. Also, a lot of the B-vitamins can have this exact effect. If the urine is clear, this is a good sign and makes the vitamin density the most likely explanation.
It could also mean that you're somewhat dehydrated and you're expelling very rich urine. In that case - rehydrate! :} Note that this works better with liquids that have some electrolytes in them - some salts. These include sports drinks like Gatorade, various juices (such as orange, pineapple or tomato), or simply drinking water and having a banana or two (high in potassium - an electrolyte).
Far less common are cases of kidney problems. But if this is a new phenomenon for you, and has no other symptoms, I wouldn't worry unless it persists.
I would definitely rather be excreting excess vitamins in my bright yellow (normal) urine, than having clear urine and vitamin-starved body cells.
More comments from WikiAnswers contributors:
- Asparagus is another veggie that will make your urine bright yellow. Drink lots of water (8 glasses a day) and that will help to flush out the kidneys.
Bright yellow urine can mean that your body is dehydrated and also it can mean you are highly acidic. Yellow urine indicates that a person is able to flush out acids stored in the body or that a person's body is not able to process the food that he is eating. If it is the first situation it is good. If it is second situation it is bad. Liver does not get any water if taken with meals or shortly afterward. Such water is flushed out of the body faster. One should drink 1 hour before meals to be able to get the water to the liver. Except for this period one should not drink water. Drinking one hours before meals will help water to stay in the body for a longer period and work on the acids and toxins for a longer time.
Taking certain vitamins will turn your urine intensely yellow.
- Urine should be almost clear in color, if you're drinking enough clear fluids. The less you drink, the darker your urine will become, and some medications will affect urine color. If you're not taking meds, then up your water intake; drinking cranberry juice also helps the kidneys to flush any toxins which can lead to urinary tract infections.
Water, water and more water! Six 8 oz. glasses a day is what is good for you, but even 4-5 will make a difference.
- To add, it is usually the B Vitamins, found either in multivitamins or as a additional supplement, that can make urine bright yellow or even orange. Other medications, such as ones for urinary tract infections, can do the same thing (such as phenazopydidine, AZO-standard, etc.). Read the information the pharmacy gives along with any prescription medication you are taking to see if this is a common side effect of them. Otherwise, you can certainly see a physician if you are concerned.
Although this is a commonly mentioned "fact" in the news, there is no scientific evidence behind the "8 glasses of water a day" theory.
- Before you spend a bunch of money on supplements (many of which are useless), try drinking more water. Urine is yellow because the major waste product of the blood, bilirubin converts to urobilin in the kidneys. Urobilins are yellow. Drinking more water will dilute your urine and it will appear clearer.
- While it is true that many are re-thinking the "8 glasses a day theory," it is also true that not being properly hydrated can cause urine that is bright yellow in color. B Vitamins and other medications can also cause discolored urine. Pay attention to your fluid intake (and remember to drink before you feel thirsty), and you should see a change in color.
Why do you have to pee on a cup when you go to a phycical?
so they know that your urinary system is working ok.
Get to your doctor right away. It might be nothing; it could be something serious. Do you drink excessive amounts of water? You could have a diabetic problem.
