What Does Brown Discharge And Smelly Urine Indicate?

I am prone to having UTIs and this is something that occurs often especially after intercourse, its been about a week and my urine is very cloudy with a weird smell and along with it some brown discharge that is mucus like. I have no pain and have already been on antibiotics and nothing is clearing this up..I have been hospitalized 3 times in the past 2 months because they have turned into kidney infections and have become very ill..

Internal Medicine Specialist,  's  Response
You don't state your gender, but I am presuming female and my answer relates to women. You might have a vaginal infection. That could cause a discharge with a funny smell, which would cause the urine to become cloudy. If the routine antibiotics used for previous UTIs haven't worked, then I would start thinking it was related to the genital tract. Bacterial vaginosis is a common vaginal infection that can cause a painless vaginal discharge. To be sure, you would need a vaginal exam with microscopic analysis of the discharge. You might also consider a clean catch urine for culture and sensitivity. If you have developed a resistant urinary tract bug, the antibiotics you've used in the past may not be helpful, and this test can diagnose the bacteria and what they're sensitive to for antibiotics. Hope this answers your question.
