A member asked:

Why does my pee smell like rotten eggs?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Strange: Did you have asparagus prior to smelling the rotten egg in your pee? Asparagus in the urine is like the odor of garlic in your breath after eating them. If this is a persistent problem, you should consult your doctor.

See your doctor: And have them check your urine. Try drinking more water till you see them.
