However, no medication i.e. antibiotics were ever given. Have polycystic kidney disease and cyst in liver. What should I do?

Hi,you are a patient of ADPKD,having cysts in kidneys & liver.
Such patients are vulnerable for recurrent urine infections,cyst infections,however that possibilty has been ruled out by appropriate evaluation .Foul smell could also be that of Ammonia or from vagina.Get labs done for KFT,Do not hold urine for long,maintain adequate fluid intake to maintain 1.5litres of urine daily.
All the best
