Dark Colored Foul Smelling Urine And Cannot Hold It For Long. Anything Wrong With My Kidneys?
For about 3 years + i have been having dark colored foul smelling urine. I decided to drink more water i drank about 8 16 oz bottles of water a day for about a month. I also drank 1 gallon of cranberry juice. All that did was thin it out until i urinated all of the liquid i drank out then it went back to being dark and cloudy again. Recently i went to the doctor and i thought i had a UTI they said i didnt and went on . Lately i havent been able to hold my urine for long i cant even make its sometimes. Im starting to think there may be some thing wrong with my kidneys. I used to be a heavy soda drinker. Please help.

Hi,
Your symptoms might be related to foods and drinks you take:
- continue drinking water
- avoid carbonated and caffeine drinks (soft,sodas,energetic drinks)
- avoid salty (pickles), oily and fried foods
Infections of you genital tract can be a cause. Check with your physician.
Stress, anxiety, work overload is also a cause.
Hope it helped!
