Avatar n tn I have a sulfur odor emitting from my pores which (naturally) is considerably worse when I sweat, but my urine doesn't have any noticeably unusual odor. This odor is so strong that I am barely able to get it out of my sheets! I have also developed nerve tremors which feel as though my entire body has been plugged into a low voltage electrical socket. Does any one know a cause for either of these problems and/or if they could be related? I am also perimenopausal. Could that play a roll here?
Avatar n tn A side effect reported is it leaves a metallic taste. Unsure about the moldy taste. Also reported that certain generic brands of Metformin smell like fish, tires, and old smelly sweat socks. Check with your doctor or pharmacist to see what other brands they have.

Food, medication and dehydration can affect the odor of urine.

Avatar f tn Sometimes Being dehydrated can cause your urine to take on a strong odor, even skunk like. So make sure that you are drinking enough fluids. That being said, as a nurse, I'd always recommend getting any kind of foul odor checked out. It could be an infection, and there's no way to know unless you get your urine evaluated. Sometimes you'll have other symptoms, such as frequency (hard to tell when you're preggo, lol) and or burning. Other times just odor.
