Smell In Urine

Seven weeks ago I had spine surgery, having to have fusions with metal screw, rods and a cage. I first had a urine leakage for about 3 weeks. Now I have a horrible smell in my urine, my bladder doesn't seem to be emptying completely. I did not have this problem prior to surgery..my surgeon said I needed to see a urologist, which I have. he is wanting to admit me to hospital for examinations on my bladder and kidneys. I haven't been released from my surgeon yet and another stay?? What concerns me is the fact that I did not have this problem until I had back surgery. ## Hello, Rbyrd! How are you doing? Have things improved, any? Such issues can occur due to surgery, there's no way to product who will or will not experience them. Have you consulted the urologist, yet? That woul...

Went from Vicodins 750's to Norco after knee replacement surgery. My Norco is the generic and my urine smells terrible. Anyone notice this side affect? ## It's a fairly common occurrence, due to the fact that you're adding a chemical to your body, plus the tablets can also contain some fillers and your body uses your urine and feces to process them out. Learn more Norco details here. However, you should keep an eye on it and if it gets really severe, or if you start to see signs of pus in your urine or experience pain or burning, then it may be a UTI and you should seek medical assistance. How long have you been taking the Norco? ## I have been on Norco and perk tramadol for a year now and since I cut myself back no I smell like pee why is that ## I've been on Norco for ...

OMGOSH... I can not believe I am asking this, but.... I am on month 4 of Contrave and my urine has an odor. I have looked at the side effects and I do not see that as one of them.... Does anyone else have this issue or is it just me? ## Almost any medication can cause such a side effect, according to NIH studies, since you are adding a new chemical to your body. However, if you start experiencing other symptoms, such as pain, burning when urinating, or blood in your urine, please see your doctor, as soon as possible. Are you on any other medications? ## I’m having the same issue. Going to see doctor to make sure it isn’t another problem, but I’m almost positive it’s the Contrave. Started about a month in as well. ## Yes, yes, yes. I am entering my third month on ...

Does anyone else have a similar symptom? I have been taking Xarelto for almost 2 years and I have noticed a change in smell of my urine. It is certainly quite foul and wondered if anyone else has suffered the same fate. I drink between 3 to 5 litres of fluids per day and do not drink coffee. My diet it pretty good and the colour is very light. I do not have diabetes. Any help would be gratefully received. ## OK, I could not figure out what in heavens was going on. I have all of the same systems. My stomach is so large that I sit with my legs open. My leg are the same as you described. One thing I learned about the fluid in the legs is to lay down on your back and place your legs on the wall but the must be over your heart for about 20 mins. a day, this does help to get that fluid out. I...

Since starting on Jardiance, my urine after my morning dose has an odd odor like the odor from new vinyl seats in a car. ## It would be best to inform your doctor, since Jardiance has been known to cause both ketoacidosis, and urinary tract infections, as side effects. Ref: Jardiance Information Many medications, and foods, can change the smell, or color or your urine, but it is always best to seek advice from a medical professional to be sure. Are you on any other medications?

Does cefdinir make your urine smell and does it cause you to need to go more often? ## The exact reason why medications do certain things to the body are unknown, however, they all do have side effects, because you are ingesting a foreign substance. Cefdinir is an antibiotic, a generic for Omnicef. The most common side effects include: nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain and headache. That said, it should not make you urinate more frequently, but medications do affect people differently. Have you talked to your doctor about this? ## Yes. My urine smells awful, just like the smell/aftertaste of the capsule when I take my dose of Cefdinir. ## Mine too, just reeks. ## My urine smells terrible since I've been taking Omnicef.

I drink at least 1 gallon of water every day. Nothing has changed that I eat or drink everyday. Help please ## Hello, Rhonda! How are you doing? Sorry about the problem that you're having. In rare cases, Phentermine can sometimes cause urinary retention, which can then result in a UTI, so that might be what's going on here. Have you consulted your doctor about it? You need to have this checked out, to be safe. ## I'm a 40 year old male taking Phentermine and just started the second month. I drink lots of water but suddenly it burns terrible when I do urinate, have some leakage, and don't feel like I...

I have been on By Mycin for 5 days and have finished my prescription. I found that my body developed a slight smell while on the drug. Is this a side effect of By Mycin and if so how long will the smell last. Thanking you, Rosemary Traynor ## By-Mycin contains the active ingredient Doxycycline, which is an antibiotic used to treat various types of infections. As far as side effects go, I haven't come across any specific details relating to this body odor you're describing; but nlm.nih.gov does list some interesting symptoms that may possibly be indirectly associated with it: decreased urination dark-colored urine light-colored bowel movements loss of appetite upset stomach vomiting stomach pain vaginal itching or discharge It sounds to me like the smell may not fully go away unt...

I just want to know,what cause this,and what antiobiotics can be taken to avoid dis? ## You need to go see a doctor. I am a female and immediately know when I have a kidney infection because my urine has the nastiest smell and it's also extremely foggy. If this is the case for you go see a doctor now, I can only take cipro for my kidney infections because of my allergy to sulfa drugs.

I have taken amoxicilina many times during my life; bought in the US and in Honduras. This last week I got a bottle of 60 capsulas while in Cozumel, to complete my antibiotic treatment (I lost the previous amoxi I was taking). I am very familiar with the smell and taste of amoxicilina and penicillin. I open the capsules when I take it, it tastes bad, and has a unique taste & smell (also in urine). The current bottle I just purchased, red & white capsulas, is a white powder with NO taste nor smell. Furthermore, it appears to have no affect on my sinusitis, and NO odor in urine. This is the first Amoxi I have ever taken that is like this (no taste & no odor. So common sense tells me I HAVE BEEN ROBBED. If this is COUNTERFEIT Amoxi, we need to STOP ITS SALE. The bottle I have s...

I'm finding the doctors I've been to are playing games with patients. So, now I'm looking for a new doctor. HELP! WHY---> I've had three surgeries on my arm. I just snapped it again from overuse. I pay to go to appointment. They take $500.00 in xrays- charge me - run my urine, run my labs, and say they can't write me a script? My arm is swollen red and I smell of bengay. Older and not looking for a high. just looking for a orthopedic, but can't get in for 3 weeks. I say - do i have to go to urgent care - You can or make another appointment - we don't usually prescribe meds?? I'm over 50, with a working wife, and I can't find a fricken pain pill?

I hate to be indelicate but I have noticed something strange since taking Eliquis. My urine and bowel movements smell different and I wondered if anyone else had noticed this. I would describe it as sort of a toasted oaty fragrance. I am not making this up or being weird. I am concerned and hope I am not along. ## Oh my goodness YES, it does have an odd smell. ## NIH.gov actually lists the following side effects associated with Eliquis (Apixaban): red, brown, or pink urine; red or black, tarry stools. However nothing in particular about its smell. Has anyone else experienced these odd colors in their urine/stool or think that this may be attributing to the different smell in some way? In either case I would suspect it's more than likely Eliquis that's causing the problem if you...
