Oder: Maloderous urine does not always imply UTI. It may be related to dehydration, certain foods (asparagus), ketones (if diabetic), etc. If you are not experiencing the typical back pain, burning, frequency, or blood, then it is reasonable to observe for now. Drink plenty of fluids to flush the bladder. You should also undergo an urologic evaluation if >3 UTIs in 1 year.
