My urine has changed, can I fix it at home or should I see a professional in person?

For about a month my urine has become darker/brighter than usual, and it looks like it "sinks" to the bottom of the toilet when I use the restroom.  It also is often times cloudy and bubbly.  My urine also has a VERY strong, almost chemical, scent to it.  It does not smell like a strong urine scent, it smells like a completely different scent.  Could this be something I can try to fix at home with a yeast infection kit or diet change?  Or do I need to see my doctor and run tests?  I am a female in my early twenties.

Hello~It sounds to me like you are dehydrated, you need to drink at least 8 8oz of water daily, when a person is not getting enough water, their urine will smell funny and look like you described. Also, add the herb "Cranberry" to your diet, this herb is great for the kidneys. If drinking extra water and the Cranberry supplement does not clear it up after a few days, I would see your doctor.

With urinary tract it is better to get texts done as it can turn to sepsis pretty fast.
