A member asked:

Ever since gallbladder was removed 9 weeks ago, urine has had a strange odor. why would that be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ans: Perhaps you are not hydrTing as you did prior to the surgery. It does take time to recover from a major surgery. Go see your doctor and have your urine checked for infection also. You must remember to hydrate well
