Here are some ...: Urine smell is very personal and unique, reflecting the degree of urine concentration, the kinds of foods consumed, etc. So, it;s OK as long as being comfortable in voiding and having a normal or unremarkable findings from properly collected fresh urine. More? Ask Doc for details timely.

Need to eval urine: Besides getting some more details (pain? Frequency? ), we'd probably want to check that urine for signs of infection (urinary tract, sexually transmitted disease etc) feel better.
