What Causes Strong Odor From Urine And Lower Abdominal Pain?

Hello Doctor, I ve never had an std. But for the last 5 days I ve been having this strong odor coming from my urine. It smells like an old urine soaked diaper. Because I m not experiencing any pain in my lower abdomen or back and no discharge my doctor said he doesn t think its an std so he didn t test me for one. He prescribed me Bactrim DS to treat a uti. Do you think that s all it could be? He said I may have gotten a uti because I hadn t been active with my partner sense 2014 and my cervix was closed. He also said my body just has to get use to being sexually active again. Does this sound logical at all?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to urinary tract infection. I see through the query that you are using antibiotics that can clear the infection, so I suggest to finish the antibiotics. I also recommend to take cranberry supplements and drink cranberry juice. I suggest to use a spasmolytic such as Buscopan 10 mg in case of abdominal pain.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
