Question 2

for the past 2 months my urine has a very strong scent of sulfur/ rotten eggs. im a 45 year old female in a 7 year same sex relationship. im starting to get worried, because it started out of nowhere with no diet change and i consume enough water?

Accepted Answer

: I've never found  pathology in patients whose urine smells like sulfur. Other than checking for a bladder infection, dietary factors, certain medications or supplements being taken and not taking in enough daily fluids, I had no further advice for them. Would a urologist have more advice for you?

Question 3

sulfur smell when i go to restroom. anything to worry about? i can't think of anything that's changed recently (diet/medication-wise).

Accepted Answer

Urine Odor: A variety of things can alter the smell of your urine.  The characteristic sulfur smell is attributable to certain foods such as apsaragus among others.  So if you are eating more veggies than normal this is probably the cause.  However, there could be other causes such as an infection.  So if your urine is also funny looking and u are experience bladder discomfort, see your doctor.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Normal variant: The color and consistency of semen rarely has any relation to any specific disease process.  Relax.  What you describe is normal.

Question 6

is it possible for you to get too much sulfur?

Accepted Answer

Compounds that: contain sulfur may become toxic if burned.

Question 7

home burnt down, after cleared went in to get some things for momma, ever since everything is sulfur taste, smell, etc. since 5/9/18?

Accepted Answer

Inhalation: It's possible that inhalation or exposure from some toxic fumes or particles caused some type of pathology to the nasal passages and this caused problems with both taste and smell. Since you're not experiencing trouble breathing, cough or wheezing, damage to the lungs is unlikely. I predict smell and taste will gradually return to normal. See an Otolaryngologist as needed for evaluation.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

No: Small amounts are safe.

Question 9

what medicine would i need to get rid of sulfur smelling urine?

Accepted Answer

See doctor to rule: out a urine or vaginal infection.

Question 10

how can i get rid of sulfur burps that are caused by stress?

Accepted Answer

Sulfur burps?: I'm not familiar with stress causing sulfur burps.   It is probably your diet.
