Question 1

29yr female- 3 kids. when i ovulate sometimes i get a fishy/urine smell at the time of ovulation. it's hard to describe the odour, is this normal?

Accepted Answer

NO: Please get checked for female infection such as BV or trichomoniasis.

Question 2

when a woman squirts is it urine?

Accepted Answer

That hasn't been : Clearly established. “squirting” is controversial. Some indicate that it is a form of female ejaculation in which the fluid is propelled from para-urethral ducts during or prior to orgasm.  Others hold that it is lubricating secretions or incontinence of urine.

Question 3

i am a female and my urine is black?

Accepted Answer

Never normal.: Needs explanation.  Best bet is to get a urinalysis and see doc. Could be blood or bilirubin or a few other things, but lab will tell.

Question 4

where does urine exit a woman's body?

Accepted Answer

The urethra.: Urine that is stored in the bladder exits a short tunnel called the urethra. It is located between the clitoris and the vaginal introitus in a vulva. The length of the urinary tract in women likely contributes to the higher rates of urinary tract infections in women, and its position in the pelvic floor and relation to the birth canal is likely what predisposes women to stress incontinence.

Question 5

why can men pass larger volume of urine than women?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Usually men's body size and body parts are larger than women so they can urinate a larger volume usually.

Question 6

what would cause ,in a woman, urine hesitation just in the morning?

Accepted Answer

: An overfilled bladder is suggested by your description, other possible causes cannot be ruled out. Talk to your doc if current symptom worsening.

Question 7

i am a 55 year old female.  what would cause my first urine in morning, to have pinkish tint?

Accepted Answer

Possible PNH: You need to have your urine examined to ascertain the basis of the color, however, an uncommon disorder, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria comes to mind. See the site below for more information and see your doctor.

Question 8

what are all the possible causes of unusual or weird smelling urine? it only happens in the morning. both male and female.

Accepted Answer

Several possibilitie: If you have no other symptoms such as urinary burning or pain, infection is less likely but that is a potential cause. In addition certain foods, vitamins or medications could do this.  Good luck!

Question 9

hi i have started to notice small white particles in my urine. i do not have any other symptoms of pain & no discomfort. i'm a woman ?

Accepted Answer

Urinalysis: Hi,

I would see your doctor and obtain a UA to make sure you do not have an infection.

Question 10

is it normal to find it hard to get the first urine of the day out? i have to push it out in little bits at a time. i am female, 33, 2 children.

Accepted Answer

Medication SFx?: Some medications may have the side effect of tightening up the urethra, making it difficult to void - amitriptylene and Cymbalta (duloxetine) are common ones for this complaint. If this has just been a recent development, then you might pee in a cup so your fp can see if this hesitancy is the beginning of a uti. It's a little strange that it's only happening in the morning, tho.
