What Do Pain During Urination And Foul Odour In Urine Indicate?
Question: Okay, so I started to notice that my urine would have a strong meat or pickled egg smell. Sometimes it would hurt to ultimate, but I would drink more water then be fine. After a few days of noticing the smell I started my period. While I was on my menstrual cycle the smell wasn't there. I just got off of it yesterday and now my urine has that smell again, I thought I could have had a yeast infection, but I don't think that's the case. What should I do?

No it doesn't hurt to urinate, and I don't have the frequent urge to urinate either.
That's why I didn't think it was a UTI and that it was a yeast infection instead, but nothing hurts. My urine just smells weird and it's never been like that before.
