Dark-coloured urine: When you are dehydrated, your urine can become concentrated, leading to a darker color and stronger smell. This is because your kidneys are trying to conserve water by producing less urine, which makes the urine more concentrated. Image courtesy: Shutterstock
Vaginitis: This also happens due to an imbalance of estrogen in the body. The vaginal walls get thin, dry, and inflamed. This brings in a lot of discomfort around your vaginal area. Most importantly, it makes your vagina prone to various infections. So, be cautious. Image courtesy: Shutterstock
