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 odour. 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

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
