What Causes A Bad, Strong Odour In Urine?

Question: Hi, I am a very clean, hygienic person but for the last week everywhere I go, I smell cat pee. I have asked a close friend and my husband and they both said I do not smell. Would there be a problem with my nose?
My own urine is not strong smelling and does not have an ammonia smell associated with it. Thanks for any help.

Brief Answer:
Parosmia for evaluation.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
In my opinion, you are having Parosmia.
This needs clinical evaluation and treatment. Probable cause can be chronic sinus problems.
If I were your treating doctor, I would have first clinically examine you, confirm my diagnosis by an endoscopic examination. Treat you with intranasal steroids + vit c supplement with zinc.
Please consult with an ENT specialist for evaluation.
Hope my answers have helped you.
