Question
If you have a red urine what is the problem?
Answer
It depends on what you mean by "red."
There could be blood in the urine - coming from either the bladder or urinary system. It could also be from blood from your period if you are on your period. Often this appears as bright red blood. If it appears more brown red - it could be related to a kidney issue. In ANY case - you should see your doctor to get it checked!
