Urine Smells a Bit Raunchy...urinalysis Shows No Problems
Posted: 11-06-04 00:26am

|
|
For a long while now, about two months or
so, i've noticed that my urine scent has
changed. A very very long time ago it
smelled normal, and then it began to smell
like popcorn...Sounds sick, but it's true.
And when it changed a second time, it
smelled like chicken boullion cubes -
that's why I have not eaten ramen noodles
for 2 months o.O
when I went in for an "exam" to find the
source of my headaches, a urine test was
ordered. Because of an excess amount of
protein it was sent in for further
testing, which yielded no problems.
...................
But despite a clean bill of health, in a
urinary sense xd, what's making me smell
so bad?
Sadly the other night when I was in the
shower I was trying very hard to hold it
but it came forth anyway and let me tell
you did it reek. The hot water really
brought the stench out! Icky!
............
Anyone else had problems with this?

Are you sure it's not a urinary tract
infection? Maybe an std?

Popcorn

I too have a popcorn smell when I go pee.
I'm very familiar with bladder
infections/kidney infections, because i'm
very prone to them and I get them quite a
bit. This though, is not one of those.
I'm not really sure what's causing it. I
just had a baby 1 year ago, and was tested
quite often for std's which I do not have.
If anyone founds out anything please let
me know.

Protein spilling in the urine is a
problem, unless you have diabeties, or a
chronic kidney disease. Then they
just keep a close eye on it. Which I
have both!!
Drink lots and lots of water, followed
with cranberry juice. Try to stay off
of the soda's if you normally drink them.
Atleast for awhile--couple weeks maybe.
Smelling like popcorn is a symptom of
"street speed" do either of you use
crank--even recreationally? Or take
ephedrine for weight loss? It could
possibly cause the "popcorn urine smell"
too.
If you do any of the above and have kidney
or bladder problems it will make it worse.

I don't use drugs of any kind, not even
for weightloss. I've had quite a few of
kidney/bladder infections in my lifetime,
so I know what to expect from one. But
this doesn't seem to be anything i've
experienced before.

I was not accusing anyone, hope you didnt
feel like I was. I was just stating
some facts that I know.
That is so funny jillian--"im seriously
not kidding" ha ha
we got popcorn, chicken boulion, then
country ham. This is kinda strange
huh??
Some times I get this "smells like im on
antibiotics" have you all ever done that?
I used to get uti every other day at that
time in my life. Found out I had trich,
didnt know it, for a long time--once they
got ridda that the uti's quit happening.
I had been married for 6 years at that
time, and they told me I should not have
carried the trichimonisis for that
long!!!! Hummm!!

I too have the country ham smell. Ive
read through all these replies and still
have no idea whats up with this. I dont
have any stds and from what I can tell I
dont have diabetes though it does run in
my family.
This has gone on for like a month or two
now, and I cant figure it out, its
embarassing to talk about but in a forum
where peoples piss smells like popcorn, im
obviously not in a league of my own.

I dont know if this is what you all are
talking about but I get the very smelly
urine....It smells very strongly of
garlic....But it is not every time I pee,
just sometimes. And there is no pain or
itching or anything...It's just really
weird. If anyone knows anything, id'e
really appreciate it!

Bad Smelling Urine
Posted: 04-29-06 06:25am

Yea, i'm glad to know i'm not alone out
here. My urine has been smelling bad for
the last year and the urinalysis are
coming back negative. Going to try the
doctor again and have him check kidneys
and liver. My ob/gyn is telling me that
as we get older, things change in the
body, but i'm not accepting that. It
doesn't matter what time of day, morning,
afternoon or night - it's offensive.
Hate for anyone to go in the bathroom
behind me. No specific odors - just
offensive - even when I drink a lot of
water.

I have noticed myself a strong smell in my
urine and it is not all the time....
After I drink my espresso in the morning
is when mine has a strong different
smell... Not sure if any of you have put
a connection between what you are eating
or drinking but I know it will change the
odor of your urine. I have also noticed
when I eat asparagus, and broccoli it does
the same thing! If any of you are on a
low carb diet it too can effect the smell
of your urine... Prob nothing to be
alarmed about unless it is painful when
you urinate!

Strange Urine Smell..
Posted: 07-27-06 16:05pm

I have a strange urine odor from time to
time as well. Im not sure what to compare
it to but it just smells to me like some
kind of chemical. I've had it sporadicly
about 8 to 12 times. The first time was
after drinking heavily and not drinking
enough water. Every other time after that
it seemed to happen after I drank alcohol
or caffeein. The last time I got it was a
few days ago but this time I had been off
of caffeein and alcohol for over a week.
I also get a burning sensation when I
urinate if I dont drink alot of water, and
I mean alot. I had a pap done at the
gynecologist along with a urine culture
and he said there were leukocytes in my
urine but the culture came back ok, and I
had benign cellular changes in the pap but
no diseases. He sent me home with an
antibiotic. Im still worried though. Any
suggestions?
Thank you.

Popcorn...chicken...ham.....urine???

Omg! I can't believe I actually found a
post about this problem! A couple of
months ago I noticed my urine had a
strange odor....Reminiscent of popcorn.
I drank a lot of water thinking it might
be the start of a bladder infection. I
noticed the strange smell intermittantly
but not always during the next couple of
months. Now my urine has been smelling
like chicken. You have no idea how
relieved I was to find this post...I
thought I was either going nuts or I had
some rare disorder...I mean who has urine
that smells like chicken????? I can't
imagine what could cause this problem and
i've had no luck with internet searches.
If anyone finds out please let me know!
Holly

I too would like to know if anyone has had
an answer to thier unusual smelling urine.
It has been a few months since some of
you wrote about your problem. Does the
problem still persist? Did you find out
what was causing it?
I too have a similar problem and would
like to hear from others that have had
this experience.
Thank you.

Popcorn Urine

My aunt has a really bad case of "popcorn
urine." she is slightly overweight and I
do not know if that is what causes the
smell. Is there any way to overcome this
"popcorn urine" problem? The family is
starting to become worried that this is a
serious medical condition.

Sodium Intake?

I have the same problem somewhat, though
my urine normally smells like bacon. Lol
it makes me feel so.. Odd for even
admitting it, but it's driving me insane!
It's such a wretched smell at times, then
other times it goes away for no apparent
reason. Even when I drank nothing but
water (which sucked by the way) it would
happen. I've been thinking it might have
something to do with sodium, but it's so
difficult to buy food with absolutely no
sodium in it.. Plus the body needs a
certain amount of sodium as it is. Other
than the smell, everything else is normal
when I pee.
Anyone know anything else about this? I
did a recent search online and found
nothing.

Same Smelly Pee Problem Here.......
Posted: 01-12-07 18:18pm

I did a search to see what the problem
could be and came upon this site and am
relieved to see how many other women have
this problem. My pee has been smelling
like almost anything I just ate or drank
for quite a while now. I drink coffee,
it smells like coffee, eat something
garlicy, it smells like garlic, etc.
It's kind of strange actually. I don't
have any stds and my pap was fine.
There's no other problem like with
discharge or stinging. It's an
embarrassing personal problem and I don't
want anyone using the bathroom right after
me because of the lingering odour. My
husband jokes about how my pee smells so
strong but I can't stand it anymore.
Will be going to the doctor to get it
checked out.
