Strong ANTISEPTIC Smell In Urine - With UTI

Dee, what type of Antiseptic smell? what exactly does it smell like? apparently not good i'd guess. so this happens during the UTI? before, after, and always while on the antibiotics? do you see a Urologist? or your PCP? if you're not seeing a Urologist. go see one. and get it examined. do not put it off. maybe it's more than a UTI. especially if you keep getting them. and finishing your 7 day supply and there it is again. that's not right nor good. good luck, danny 💙💙.

Hi @danny5 and - Thank you for the reply. I have dealt with UTIs for most of my adult life. Years ago, it was the PCP who took care of them, but then I developed kidney stones, so I had to add a Urologist, but it was mainly my PCP for "normal" UTIs.
A year ago, I changed to a female Urologist - Holy cow! Night and Day difference!!!
Are you kidding me? WHAT? Do you REALLY care I am having these AWFUL UTIs? And you want to investigate what is going on? And you want to HELP ME? WHAT????
I honestly thought I was dreaming! But nope, there she was, my new-found ANGEL! That's when this VERY young woman "told me" I didn't need to settle for wearing a pad because I was "leaking" urine. I didn't have to suffer through burning, pain, itching, and more (outside of the vaginal area).
Where had I been? I thought it was all "normal" ... Gosh, doesn't every woman have a prolapsed uterus and a bladder that wants to cry on her best day? Nooo? It's NOT NORMAL? DO TELL ME!!!!
Yes. That was me up to a year ago .... NOW my bladder would be singing (No. Not today!)
Because I discovered that what I had taken for "normal" is NOT so! But let me tell you ... What a journey! I didn't even know - Until this past winter, I could have a cystoscopy and NOT have my body literally jump high and off the little bed! Yeah .... She actually used a local anesthetic!
