Have Burning Smell In Urine And Stool. Should I Be Concerned?
Question: Hello,
About 3 month ago I realized that my urine smells like burned - it is hard to explain. Also a month later my stool started to smell like this. The smell is very strong, maybe like Ammoniac. In addition, I realized that my stool is not as dense anymore - this can, however, be related on my diet. I do not face any other symptoms at this time. Can you let me know if this is something to be concerned of or what to look out for? I’m kind of concerned since this is already going on for few months.
Thanks a lot,

Brief Answer:
Should not be cause for concern
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
Since you are already under treatment for HIV you must have extensively been investigated. I hope you do not have diabetes or ketone bodies in your urine. If all the investigations are normal then there should not be a cause for concern for the smell.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction. Please feel free to revert back in case you need any clarifications or if you would like to share more facts.
Wishing you all the best.

Brief Answer:
Watch for ketone bodies in urine report
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for the update.
You need to worry only if your urine report shows ketone bodies which will be present in case you have diabetes which is uncontrolled. I shall appreciate if you can review your urine report and, if possible, share it with me.
I hope I have responded to your query to your satisfaction.
