What Causes Dark & Foul Smelling Urine?

My urine has started to smell of smokey bacon and is very dark in colour. I am drinking about five or six large glasses of water a day if not more. This is unusual for me. I am 32 have a bit of a cold so am taking paracetamol to keep my aches and pains and temperature down. Otherwise I'm in good health.

Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
* Indicates underlying urinary tract infection .
* Recommended to undergo basic Laboratory work up for Complete blood
counts & urine microscopic examination for assessing the severity of it
till that time you should :
- Increase your current liquid intake preferably in form of boiled water,
coconut water, lemon juice , green tea, coffee, butter milk etc.
- Keep genitals clean , dry
- Avoid smoking / alcohol if using
- Remain ambulatory
- Cranberry sachets or liquid help tremendously
- Consume citrus containing fruits more
Hope this helps you.
