What Causes A Foul Smell In The Urine?
Question: My urine has smelled smoky for some time and i wonder about a home solution
Brief Answer:
urinary tract infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
Smoky urine is almost always urinary tract infection. I wouldnt recommend you to get home remedy for urinary tract infection because it is easily treatable with 5 days course of antibiotics and chances of spreading to the kidneys causing renal failure is high.
However here are some solutions which might help
1. Drink plenty of water, upto 8 glasses per day to flush out the bacteria
2. Urinate frequently
3. Keep the genital area clean and free from moisture
4. Drink plain sugarless cranberry juice three times a day
5. Parsley and cucumbers have known to help relieve the pain
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
