A member asked:
My urine smells old and has a similar smell of what you'd get if you boil vegetables and leave the water a few days. there os also a chalky sediment?

Possible UTI: Given unusual smell and characteristics, one would suspect a urinary tract infection. Other more nefarious causes are rare. Initial evaluation for a urinary tract infection involves going in for a medical evaluation and urinalysis.
