Question 4

pee smells bad and is dark yellow what does this mean? i don't feel any pain

Accepted Answer

Dehydration or other: Brandi, Drink a lot of water (at least one glass an hour) for the rest of the day.  Catch a little of the urine in a clear jar after you've done this for 4 hrs.  If it is clear, it is probably not an infection even if it smells strange.  If you shake the jar and the bubbles are yellow, you should get checked, especially if your skin is at all yellow or the whites of your eyes or under your tongue.

UTI: Hi, your symptoms sound like a urinary tract infection.  UTI's need antibiotics to be cured.  I suggest you see your doctor for treatment.  Drink plenty of fluids and be seen immediately for fever, vomiting or any worsening of your symptoms.

Question 8

started yasmin (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) pill approx 2 weeks ago & noticed  brownish discharge & my pee smells bad. is this a side effect of yasmin (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) or is something else wrong?

Accepted Answer

Time: When you start a new birth control method it often takes a few months to adjust before we judge whether or not it is working. Well for them. Periods on this particular pill are usually very light so it may improve with time. Brown discharge is a small amount of old blood. Urine smell is diet related unless you have burning and frequency. If you have those symptoms you have a bladder infection.

See doctor: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you and your symptoms warrant evaluation by a physician.  You may have urinary infection that would need to be treated.

Question 10

my pee smells really bad kind of like poop ,could it be because i held in my pee for a while that it lead to my stomach feeling bloated and sore? and what can i do to get rid of the smell, and also how long will it last ?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Go to a Doctor or Urgent Care or ER for evaluation. You may have a fistula. An abnormal hole in the bowel or bladder. A recto-urethral fistula  is a hole between the urethra and the rectum. This hole leads to the leakage of urine in the rectum and feces traveling into the bladder. Or maybe you just have a bad UTI.
