Why is my urine red?
I've noticed that my urine is red. This started happening yesterday and I'm terrified. Why is it red?

Sometimes it is from eating beets (it's a genetic thing), sometimes from an infection, sometimes a kidney disease, sometimes kidney stones, sometimes things that cause bleeding from the drainage system. Going to the doctor to find the cause will help the period of terror :)
See your doctor
There may be blood, which can come from a number of sources: infection, a kidney stone, or, rarely, even cancer. See your doctor!
