It may be your nose: Your nasal condition may  have impacted your smelling function and you should take care of it.  On the other hand, the smell of urine and stool is usually not indicative of a disease condition (except in fat malabsorption when the odor can reek).

my 5 year old son has a very weak urine stream, is this a problem?

Accepted Answer

Weak urine stream: A weak urinary stream need to be evaluated by a pediatric urologist, a voiding cystourethrogram need to be done to check for narrowing or any form of obstruction.  So please see your pediatrician  &amp;  request  a referral to a pediatric  urologist. Good luck.

Question 10

i am 67 years old. why do i have a weak urine stream only in the morning?

Accepted Answer

Enlarged prostate: MAY be the issue.  Your doc can check it.  The prostate wraps around the urethra and can pinch off the flow of urine.  Very common in older men.  A natural product called "ProstaThera" by the ProThera company can be helpful but you need a licensed professional to get it for you.  Peace and good health.
