Question: What would cause odor in urine?
Brief Answer:
infection or maybe it is something you ate.
Detailed Answer:
Good day and thank you for being with HealthcareMagic!
A strong odor in the urine has a variety of causes. One thing, that should be ruled out, is infection.
This is seen as very cloudy and aromatic urine. This is often associated with pain on urination and urinary frequency. To check for infection a urine sample should be sent to the laboratory to check for bacteria and pus cells.
Other causes of aromatic urine could be diet related, eating asparagus etc. would cause an ammonia-like odor in the urine.
If the smell persists, I'd suggest doing a urinalysis to be sure.
I hope I have answered your question and thank you very much.
Feel free to ask further.
