Urine is the waste product secreted by the kidneys that in mammals is a yellow to amber-colored, slightly acidic fluid discharged from the body through the urethra.[1]
Urine contains a microbiome with normal low levels of bacteria with up to 33 types found, so it is not considered to be a sterile liquid.[2]
Urine may be used to flush out the preputial sac when the foreskin does not retract.
