Question: I have had strong smelly urine which gets cloudy, though recently it is less cloudy for the last 2 months, Sometimes my throat gets raspy at the same time. I have no other symptoms, no pain, no blood, etc. I am worried if its related to a STD

Brief Answer:
Chances of infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for query and sorry for delay reply.

Cloudy urine accomapanied with strong odor represents crystals and protein break down in the body. This may denote infection but not necessarily STD. It can be simple Urinary infection as well.
I am not bothered and you may not need treatment at this time as you do not have any pain, blood or fever like symptoms.
I would just advise you to increase water intake, may be Cranberry juice up to one litre a day for two days. This should take care of asymptomatic urinary infection and at the same time can flush off hidden toxins.

Please get back to me after two days.

Thanks for getting back to me. When it first started two months ago i did feel weak some burning pain but that is gone. I will increase water and drink cranberry juice. Any other suggestions of what I can do?Also, my voice started getting raspy at the same time I started not feeling well. I still get it occasionally. Never had it before this incident. Would baking soda and vinegar help in any way? One last comment in the beginning I never had a fever but always felt like I was on the verge of one. Again that was 2 months ago but again the smell and cloudy urine is still present

Brief Answer:
Warm water with salt gargles help

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You seem to have recurrent episodes like these. Do not worry.
Whenever you have these, immediately gargle with warm water and pinch of salt in it for four times a day. Eat hot food, do not drink anything cold. Rest for that day with just ginger tea or warm milk with tumeric and pepper.

Baking soda and vinegar is also an option if you prefer that. Keep sipping normal temperature water.

I still have the strong oodor in my urine though not as cloudy . Just keep drinking Cranberry juice or sshould I see a doctor for antibiotics? still concerned about the odor and the fact that I'm tired and keep falling asleep which is unlike me. Do you prescribe an antibiotic?

Brief Answer:
Antibiotic

Detailed Answer:
hi

only odor would not matter. you neither have temperature not pure systemic infection symptoms.

tiredness is important cannot be ignored. muscle break down may be reason. some blood tests are also advised. you may go for antibiotics with any doctor. we do not prescribe antibiotics on this forum.
