What Causes Bad Smell To Urine?

My husband has been having a really bad smelling urine for the past few months. We have gone to our local doctor and he finally put him on Bactrim 800 mg 2 times a day to clear him up. He was having no burning or hurting with this urine. It cleared it up within 2 weeks. Now it is back again, the same really bad smell. No pain associated with it, just bad smell. I think he needs to see a speciality doctor in that area...what are your feelings? Thank You!
