urine has strong odor
Posted: 02-06-08 11:00am

My urine has a very strong musty or maybe rubber smell to it. I've moved to Pennsylvania from NYC and I never had this problem before. I was worried about the onset of diabetes but there is nothing sweet smelling about it. It also is not gold colored it is more of a grey-green color I am concerned and dont think this is normal.

Possibly ketones in your urine, which suggests diabetes.

Make an appointment to have a check asap.

It could also be a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) so I'd go and see a doctor about it for a test too as they can be very painful if left to develop. Keep us posted, if this IS the case we can offer lots of advice that should help you stay well. That said, if it is a UTI then be sure to try to find out what bacteria they find since it's much easier to get rid of if you know what the problem is.

Hope you stay well,

Chiyaki.

I agree with everyone above, go see your doctor get a urine test done. If it is a UTI and it goes untreated it can travel to the kidneys causing more problems.

Is there puss in your urine?
