What Causes Foul Smelling Urination?
Last Evening, I came home and had to urinate. Im 65 years old so Im rather used to a slow stream, but not this time! it was strong and volumenous. But as mI started to flush, I noticed a very strong oder like a mix of old urine and rotten eggs. I assumed my grandsons missed a lot last week.An hour later, again I urinated, still a reasonable amount and power, but that oder was no doubt my current urine.A 3rd time about an hour later, but there was a burn and although IO felt like my bladder was ready to bust, there was only and ounce. This happened 4 or 5 more times over night. but the later ones came with another sympton: yawning and stretching so ontensely and frrequest I though for sure I was going to rip muscles.Is this just a bladder infection? I have several Clar(something)myacin left fron a toothache. what do you think. Pretty miserable but I cant afford clinics, urgent care and ERs

Hi,
Yes, this cant indicate just one disorder since there could be a number of causes for foul smelling urine. Most common includes urinary tract infection, metabolic abnormality & bladder infection. 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.
