So could you please tell me if this could be the reason why I get bad smell from my underpants after passing urine? Please help me how can this be avoided. Thanks in advance!!!! Have a good day!!!!

Welcome to HCM. Usually this type of bad smell is might be due to improper hygiene. You have to wash your local parts with proper anti septic soap. Keep proper local hygiene,even wash your garment properly. Drink enough water and other liquids. Consult your physician if it persist.
Hi, many thanks for the query! You should drink plenty of water so that at least 3 litres of urine is voided in 24 hrs. Do- Urine (Routine & Microscopy). If there is any abnormal finding then consult your Urologist. Keep your penis clean, wash it with water while bathing, also your underpants should be clean & washed and should be changed daily. Wish you a good health. Take care. Regards.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Bad smell after urination could be due to leak of urine wetting your inner wears. Try to void completely and wash after urination. Get your urine routine and culture done, as foul smelling urine could be due to urinary infection. Get blood sugar test done, could be due to presence of ketones in urine
Consult your doctor for examination and management. Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries. Wish you good health. Take care.
Regards Dr. Vidya
