Avatar f tn Bacteria that contaminate the urine will convert chemicals in the urine into smelling chemicals that are responsible for the distinctive smell, such as ammonia. You can give his urine sample for testing. With a kidney stone chances of infection are high. Some foods like proteins cause the excretion of nitrogen compounds (ammonia and urea). Hence these foods can be reduced in diet. Hope these tips help. If symptoms persist consult an urologist.

Avatar n tn increased ammonia in urine - occurring as a result of dehydration or a bladder infection, infection with trichomonas vaginalis, hypermethioninemia, and Trimethylaminuria. As the last two are uncommon conditions, it would be better to rule out the initial two causes. If your urine is very pale yellow, it is unlikely that you are dehydrated. However, it would not hurt to ensure that fluid intake is maintained over 2000 ml.

Avatar n tn Recently, I have been smelling something similar to urine that is nonexistent, walking through the grocery store (different grocery stores), in the pool, in the yard, one minute it is there stronger than life and the next it is gone. Today when it happened I was in the pool with my sister, she didn't smell anything. I have actually had to leave stores because the smell was so overpowering, yet no one else seemed to notice. Is this just my imagination? Should I have it checked out?
Avatar n tn My urine has been really sweet smelling lately, and I don't know why. I'm a young female (18), and I have pretty good general health, so it's kinda surprising. Is it anything I should be worried about?

Food, medication and dehydration can affect the odor of urine. Sometimes an unusual urine odor can be associated with an underlying medical condition, If this persists, it would be best to consult your doctor for proper evaluation and management.

Avatar n tn It would be a good idea for you to drive him as he is a hazard to other people not only himself, I dont know about smelling ammonia but I wondered if he eats before he goes out as it could be low blood suger or even diabetes he should have a sugar test done, does he take any meds as sometimes there are side effects, any anti histimines that are not non-drowsy? If he passes out he definatly should go back to the Doctor and tell him and DO NOT let him drive ...
Avatar f tn Am waiting for an ultrasound to determine whether I have a kidney stone or fibroidsa(due to occasional spotting after intercourse), however the last couple of days the abdominal pain has worsened and I now have an ammonia-like smell in my urine. Could the original thought of kidney stones be the right one?? I can't see where fibroids would affect the smell of my urine. There is no pain with the urination or discolor to the urine. Still have the back pain as well.
