    Cause for constant dark urine.
    A few months ago I was treated with antibiotics for a urinary tract infection. Since then my urine has always been of a really dark brown colour. It does not hurt. My partner is the same. I have taken an STI test and it showed up nothing. I drink lots of water so it can't be dehydration. Just recently I have also noticed that even if I flush the toilet a few hours later the clean water turns to the same colour as my urine.

    Could you please advise?

    Where do you live? It could be scale build-up in the toilet and not your urine at all.

    I think, where I am located is pretty irrelevant. I've come on here for advice and you don't seem to be helping...

    The reason I asked that is because there are different medications throughout the world. Different illnesses throughout the world, etc. No need to be so harsh.

    Dark urine, darker than straw color is a sign of either dehydration or a serious kidney ailment.

    Could be a dietary supplement. Although it is odd that you toilet water would continue to show the color after you go. Try going in another restroom in a different area and see if it continues.

    I know you said they did and sti test and uti test . But they need to culture on your urine?
