Have you ever noticed that your urine suddenly has a strong, unpleasant, or unusual smell? Sometimes, a change in urine odor is harmless and may simply be caused by something you ate, dehydration, or certain medications.
However, persistent foul-smelling urine should not always be ignored, especially when it comes with other symptoms.
One condition that can sometimes be associated with unusual urine odor is a urinary tract infection (UTI). When bacteria multiply in the urinary tract, they can change the smell of urine. You may also experience burning or pain when urinating, frequent urination, cloudy urine, pelvic discomfort, or an urgent need to urinate.
In more serious cases, an untreated urinary infection can spread to the kidneys and cause a potentially dangerous infection. Warning signs may include fever, chills, back or side pain, nausea, vomiting, or feeling extremely weak. These symptoms require prompt medical attention.
