Strong ANTISEPTIC Smell In Urine - With UTI

CONGRATULATIONS ON finding a female Urologist. i have a female PA Urologist. she's amazing. and smart as a whip. she has helped me immensely with my UTIs. and kidney stones. i will see her again on the 22nd of July. i have a problem where i bleed from my penis. either from the Urethra tube. or the glands.. or.. (head). but i find it a little worrisome and a little scarry.
see, i have 2 kidney stones in both kidneys. the top lobe and the bottom lobe. if you understand what i'm trying to describe. so i'm not totally sure what's going on there.
now about the smells you list. i have seen that list. but for the life of me, i can't remember what the article actually said about them. you know, what causes the smell. it might have been from the National Kidney Foundation. most likely. well lots of Hugs to you too. Daniel 💙💙.

Hey, @danny5 - Thank you! I found my female urologist by chance. My husband was seeing a new, extremely proficient male urologist, and I asked him if he took new patients. After I explained my problems, he recommended a colleague in the same practice (different office), adding that he was recommending her not only because of her gender but because she specialized in women's urinary problems. So, yes, I was incredibly lucky!!! My doctor is everything anyone could wish for: She is empathetic, very supportive, and highly knowledgeable. She REALLY changed my life!!!
I am very sorry to hear about your current bleeding! When did it begin? Do you have any pain, or any other symptoms? I understand your concern Danny! I had kidney stones 3 times and had to go to the hospital to have them out. However, I did not "see" blood, though it was found in my urine. I did see "real" blood in my urine only once. Again, I had kidney stones, which I eventually passed without going to the hospital.
I am wondering - Since you know you have 2 kidney stones in each kidney, could one or more of these stones be migrating and causing the bleeding? My stones DID exactly that; they moved and then began descending, causing the bleeding (and awful pain).
About my very strange medicinal smell (still present!) - Yes, I too remember reading about many causes of DIFFERENT types of smells ... Somewhere! But none of the smells described is the "medicinal/antiseptitc" one that I smell.
I don't have any UTI symptoms - Only this very particular smell. This is the ONLY time this has happened (having this exact smell and NO UTI!).
So you may ask: Why be concerned? Because it is the ONLY time this has happened. What if it is NOT tied to any infection, but something DIFFERENT? I have had 2 cancers (melanoma and breast) and I have found them both myself - I have SAVED my own life. I can't "shake" the idea that I am "missing" something ...
HUGS to you Danny!
Daniela
