Brief Answer:
Few possible causes

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM.

This is in most cases caused by certain food intake such as asparagus , fish, beer, some fruit ,onions and some more including some medications..

However it may be sign of urine infection if there is associated burning pain while urinating so you should do urine analysis to rule this out.

Wish you good health.
