A 19-year-old female asked:
So every now and then when I use the bathroom, my urine will have a strong odor...smelling like beef jerky, actually. I know thats gross. When I drink water it goes back to normal. Is something wrong?
Dr. Bennett Werneranswered

Normal: This occurs when your urine is concentrated and is normal. When you drink more water, you dilute your urine and the odor is not as noticeable.
