What Causes Bad Odor Form My Urine?
I ve had foul/strong urine odor for about 7 weeks, but I have no pain or burning sensation when I pee. Everything seems normal except my pee really smells. I try to drink lots of fluids, but it doesn t make much of a difference. It has never smelled before. Is this something serious?

Hi,
Yes, this cant indicate just one disorder since there could be a number of causes for foul-smelling urine. Most common includes urinary tract infection, metabolic abnormality & bladder infection. I would suggest you to get urine complete examination & culture done to see if there is any abnormality. Meanwhile following home remedies may help to improve the condition:
- Drink plenty of water if you are dehydrated,
- Cranberry juice is also an effective home remedy for foul urine odor. It is more beneficial to prepare a fresh cranberry juice instead of drinking a canned one.
- Lemon juice and barley water also help to relieve you of foul-smelling urine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
