Urine Smells Like Ammonia, Frequent Trips Drips, And Other P Posted: 10-31-07 17:15pm
I was looking up ammonia smelling urine--I
have interstitial cystitis icahelp.org for
more info...and have many of the issues
listed above... I think you are right
about the water intake. I stayed
dehydrated because of the frequent
bathroom trips..but acid..like in juice or
cranberries...make this worse..as it is
like a hemorrhaging in the bladder lining
at all times...but I will take the advice
and drink more water...it would probably
make one feel better..and wouldn't it
change the ph balance? Also.. my liver
enzymes were high too..and they don't have
an answer on that yet... did you guys?

a strong smell in morning and changes back
to a clear colour in evening and no smell.
I drink 2.5 or more litres of water a day
and always take a drink to be bed so it
cannot be hydration what is

Urine smells like popcorn Posted: 02-01-08 13:10pm
For the last 48 hours I have noticed that
my urine has the distinct smell of popcorn
and though I drink a lot of coffee in the
morning, I usually consume a gallon or
more of water before I go to bed. I also
take melatonin each evening five (5) - 5mg
tablets before retiring each evening. Can
the melatonin cause this sudden smell or
is it possibly something else?

male 52 healthy... urine suddenly became offensive Posted: 03-05-08 04:01am
Hi I anm 53 but at 51/52 my urine suddenly
started to smell like a seal. Especially
fouls my pants , scrotum or crutch so I
can smell it wafting up. It makes me
embarrassed especially in mixed company.
It is not a smell I revel in like underarm
odour ( :
I considered it may be a urinary tract
infection as it comes and goes. My diet
has not changed and i drink tea, with milk
and brown sugar for my entire liquid
intake during the day. I do not drink
alcohol or smoke. I have been eating more
novelties like corn chips and chocolate. I
might drink water occassionally. I do not
eat as much meat as I did, but cannot eat
large meals now, as I feel full on a small
amount. My weight is as I was when I was
twenty and I look about 32- 35. I pump
sperm like a champion. I have little grey
hair and it is natural dark blonde way
past my shoulders. Urine colour is yellow
to clear with no clear colour/ color
association to smell. I do have problems
with a fractured #C2 cervical vertebrae
that has fused with the C3. My eyesight is
going progressively but I feel the brain
stem damage or the increasing fusion
calcification may be affecting my optic
nerves. anyway I have said my bit.. any
ideas out there

I'd have a urine sample tested... Just in case. Posted: 03-06-08 08:05am
I don't know for sure, but (sadly due to
experience) it could be an E.coli
infection, this UTI causing bacteria has a
rather nasty smell as it exit's your body,
it may be worth while getting a urine
sample tested just in case and you may be
able to catch it (if that is the case)
before it has any bad effect on you. You
can get plenty of perfectly safe, natural
products to use instead of potentially
damaging anti-biotics. I use a product
called 'Waterfall D-Mannose' for some time
now and have since been UTI free, and I'm
much happier now.
Hope you stay well,
Chiyaki x

Strong odd odor in my urine Posted: 10-10-08 21:22pm
My urine has a very strong, odd smell. I
drink a lot of water and I still get
frequent urinary tract infections. I have
talked to my doctor and she doesn't seem
to think much of it except that i am not
drinking enough water. I am though so I
have ruled that out. Urine is sterile
until it leaves the body so I believe that
I may have some kind of kidney infection
that is infecting my urine before it
leaves my body. What do you all think?

me too Posted: 10-16-08 21:13pm
I have had frequent UTI's (well, I
consider them frequent, as i've had about
20 in 15 years). I get the same thing,
Drs brush off my concerns. I was also
tested for bladder reflux, had ultrasounds
of my kidneys, the whole works (at my
request, and thus my expense,
unfortunately). The tests show nothing
and I still deal almost daily with
frequent urination and strong smelling
urine. Currently I am waiting to be seen
for some other health issues, but I plan
on bringing this up yet another time, as I
can barely make it 50 feet from my kitchen
to my bathroom at times. I know I'm not
as good at drinking fluids as I should be,
but even when I am more conscientious
about doing so, the problems persist. It
seems like reading through this we all
have the same problem, and not many
answers. I am not on any birth control or
medications of any kind. If anybody has
any suggestions, I welcome them.
