What Causes Bad Odoured Urine While On Birth Control Pills?

I had a c section 7 months ago and after 2 months of giving birth I started taking birth control pills, then I noticed that my urine has a very string and foul smell. I have taken this pill before for 3 years before getting pregnantand urine didn t smell bad before.

Hello,

Thanks for your query on HCM

"As" per your clinical history is concerned please follow like this -

1)Do a clinical examination by your Doctor[urologist] and to confirm it do few investigations like [Urine RE/ME/Culture] and [cystoscope].

2)If infection suspected then discuss with your Doctor about prescription medications like [Nitrofurantoin].

Do follow lifestyle modifications like this -

1)Try to drink plenty of liquids, especially water. Drinking water helps dilute your urine and ensures that you'll urinate more frequently allowing bacteria to be flushed from your urinary tract before an infection can begin.

2)Wipe from front to back. Doing so after urinating and after a bowel movement helps prevent bacteria in the anal region from spreading to the vagina and urethra.

3)Try to empty your bladder soon after intercourse. Also, drink a full glass of water to help flush bacteria.

4)Try to avoid potentially irritating feminine products.

Hope that helps
