A member asked:
This has been the first instance of this happening to me so i was wondering, what would cause a fishy smell when i pee? it was also orange.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Food and meds: Orange urine can be caused by medications such as azulfine, rifampin, pyridium, (phenazopyridine) and some laxatives. Foods such as beets, rhubarb can cause redish urine. Dehydration can concentrate urine and make deeper color. Fishy smell usually is caused by vagina infection. If this continues should consult your physician..
