What Causes Strong Urine Smell Post Hernia Surgery?
I had hernia sergery 2 yrs ago, all of a sudden my urine smell so strong like medicine and when I unzip my pants to pea I have the strong smell like I had just urinated. I tried cutting out my medicine for a day or so to see if it was the medicine. when I cut out my blood thinner which is { clopidogrel } the smell goes away.
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. Iven Romic Rommstein, General Surgeon
