A member asked:
Burning when urinating and foul odor in urine for over a month now. urinalysis showed a high level of ketones. ive never been diagnosed with diabetes. no changes to my diet and no signs of a bacteria infection. what else could be causing these sym.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If UA shows no infection then the most common causes of odor in urine are foods and lack of water intake. Avoid too much, garlic onion, spices, asparagus. fish and such foods and drink 5-6 glasses of water a day. You will smell the difference!. Wish you well.
