Question 1

why does urine smell after drinking strong alcohol heavily?

Accepted Answer

Diuretic: Alcohal is a potent diuretic resulting in frequent urination and dehydration - the best prevention is adequate fluid replenishment: every alcohalic beverage is best accompanied and followed with non-alcohalic fluid.  If your urine appears heavy or dark yellow ("amber"), you're probably "dehydrated.".

Question 2

my doctor has diagnosed me as (possible m.s.)  i am having problems with constant bladder infections. why does my urine feel heavy, smell awful, ?

Accepted Answer

UTI, inflammation: Having these symptoms may occur from several causes. Of course, a urinary tract infection should be ruled out or urinary retention. Once obstruction and infection has been ruled out, medications can aid in alleviating these symptoms. Malodorous urine by itself is not diagnostic of a UTI and therefore these symptoms need further evaluation.

Accepted Answer

Urinary frequency: Sounds like you have urinary tract infection. Please test your urine or see a doctor soon.

Question 4

can frequent uti's cause weight loss?  i've been losing weight not too hungry i get very pungent urine smell and migraines, depression and nausea

Accepted Answer

A lot going on: I wouldn't think the urinary infection is the most likely culprit but you have other issues. Certainly, when a person has migraines, often with nausea, she often does not feel like eating &amp; can lose weight. Weight loss is also a common symptom of untreated depression. Then add a urine infection where you can just feel punk/not eat. You need a thorough evaluation &amp; treatment for all these issues
