What Causes Foul Smell In Urine While Treating Kidney Stones?

Hi, I have been noticing that my urine smells like sewage especially in the morning the last 4 days. THroughout the day, it gets better but still has an odor to it. I have IC and may be having a slight flare up of it right now but not how I normally experience them. I also have kidney stones. Do you think this could all be related?

Hi,

Yes, this cant indicate just one disorder since there could be a number of causes for foul smelling urine. Most common include 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.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
