Strong ANTISEPTIC Smell In Urine - With UTI

Posted by Dee @danielad, Jul 7 2:07pm

Hello All!

I wonder if anyone else has ever experienced having a STRONG Antiseptic smell in their urine when having a UTI?

Through the years, I have had numerous UTIs. But about 2 years ago I started having a NEW symptom: A STRONG ANTISEPTIC smell in the urine, when I had a UTI. It always goes away after beginning the antibiotics.

I had a new UTI, and have just finished 7-days of antibiotics. A day after my last pill, here comes the same smell again. This has NEVER happened before.

Can anyone share some insights?

Thanks!

Dee

Have you not been to a doctor or clinic yet? Odor change is often a sign of something mild that can get worse. If it's just a urine smell only much stronger, water increase may take care of it. It doesn't matter if you like water or not, just do it. Think of it as medicine. And I'd say 8 6oz. glasses a day to start with. Maybe you'd take it better if using ice water, or a straw. Not a bottle, takes longer. Good luck with this simple fix.

I feel like I’m not heard by my Dr. She ignores my questions.

I agree but I love her. Next time I’ll tell her to read my lips. Or call a PP Dr one!
