Can Omega 3 Be Taken When On Treatment For UTI?
Hello, I'm 27 year old male and trying to fight a light urinary infection which is much better (no burning just feel like I have to pee really bad) but it seems like my omega 3 is not being processed right, pee smells like fish oil. My urine was cloudy and smelled off(like rubber bands) but not fishy, just strong. Now it smells fishy after i take my omega 3(with a meal). I've had some left testicle pain since the infection started.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
I am Dr Rakesh Sharma answering your query.
I can understand your concern.
Smelling of urine is common with omega 3.
But
Your urine may be smelling because of infection as well.
Your testical pain may also be because of infection.
Stop omega3 just to differentiate the smell, otherwise it does not affect the treatment for urine infection.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
