A member asked:

Why is it everytime i eat fish my urine smells fishy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Urine odor: A fishy odor to the urine is usually actually from the vagina due to infection, but if this only occurs when you eat fish, then is related to some chemical from the fish. Have you ever eaten asparagus and then smelled your urine?
