What Causes Foul Smelling Urination?
I awoke this morning and noticed that my urine had a rotten fish smell and was dark in color. Also, it was painful at the start of the stream, but once it was steady, the pain subsided. I've been drinking a lot of fluids today, and noticed that the smell went away, but not the pain. The pain is not as bad, but still there

Thanks for contacting HCM with your health concern
1. As by the case history, it is difficult to determine your gender and age thus ideally, a urine sample should be sent for culture- sensitivity and colony count, before initiating treatment. As soon as the result of sensitivity test is available, treatment is started [or changed if already started] according to maximum sensitivity.
2. check for predisposing factors to infection like obstruction, calculus, diabetes, bacterial vaginosis should be properly identified and managed/treated [for which opinion of urologist/gynecologist is necessary since he/she may distinguish lower tract infection from upper urinary tract infection]
3. take plenty of water and fluids.
. avoid hot/spicy foods, salt, garlic, mustard oil, citrus fruits, alcohol, excess physical exertion.
. take jaggery with cold water, coconut water, amla, dates, musk melon, water melon.
. a few tea spoons of baking soda diluted in a cup of water, followed by at least 2 cups of water is effective.
. take a diet rich in vitamin C [orange, grape fruits, lemons] which can boost your immune system.
. you may ask for prescription medicines like tab calcury, tab/syrup cystone, Chandan assav, ushir assav.
