why when i use the bathroom, my urine has a bad odor?

Sent to Health Experts July 30, 2005 10:36 p.m.

sometimes it has a stronger odor in the morning because i haven't gone all through the night. It will still have a distinctive odor later in the day when i will go. this has been going on for about 2 months. I have no discharg. It's just when i urinate.

ACCEPTED

Is it cloudy as well? You may have an infection if it is. Cloudiness sometimes signifies the presence of white blood cells. Otherwise, are you getting enough to drink? Be sure you are flushing your system with water frequently. 2-3 liters of water a day, more if you are in the hot climate.

REPLIED

Well, start drinking plenty of fluids, and get to your doctor on Monday for a urinalysis. Make sure there's no infection.

Better safe than sorry.

Hope I helped,
