Urine Smell: If your urine smells bad, here's what problem it could be indicating. Expert advice will be very helpful.

What does your urine tell you about your body? Urine is a waste product that comes out of our bodies. Most people know this, but did you know that this waste can also reveal your health? Simply put, by paying attention to the color, smell, and quantity of your urine, you can determine any abnormalities in your body. Urine is our body's natural health indicator. So, let's learn from an expert how to determine your health by looking at your urine.

What do experts say?

Recently, renowned nutritionist Lima Mahajan shared a post on her Instagram handle. In this post, she explains that even small changes in urine can give us early signs of many diseases.

Increased odor of urine

Lima Mahajan explains, if your urine suddenly smells bad, there could be several reasons. Excessive consumption of onions, garlic, coffee, or certain medications can increase the odor. When the body is dehydrated, urine becomes thick and smelly.

Additionally, it can also be a sign of certain diseases. Urine odors, especially those caused by a urinary tract infection (UTI), can cause urine to have a strong or unusual odor. A sweet or fruity odor could also be a sign of uncontrolled diabetes.

Causes of frequent urination

If you suddenly have to urinate very frequently, it could be the result of diabetes, UTI or excessive caffeine/alcohol consumption.

What does the color of urine indicate?

The nutritionist further explains that the color of urine also reveals secrets related to health.

Dark yellow urine – If the urine is dark yellow, it could be a sign of dehydration or high levels of vitamin B.
Very light or clear urine – This could be due to drinking too much water. Diabetes can also cause the urine to appear light or clear.
Foamy urine – Sudden foam in the urine could be a sign of protein leakage in the kidneys.
Red or bloody urine – This could be a sign of stones, infection, or a kidney problem.
Cloudy urine – If the urine feels cloudy, this is often due to infection or dehydration.

Keep these things in mind

Lima Mahajan says, "Sometimes, the color or smell of urine can change due to food, drink, or medication, which is normal. However, if this change persists for several days, consult a doctor. Additionally, drink plenty of water throughout the day, maintain good hygiene and personal hygiene, and avoid holding urine for long periods of time."

Small changes in your urine are a reflection of your health. So, the next time you notice a change in the smell or color of your urine, don't ignore it.
