Avatar m tn Hi there, There are several causes of strong odor in the urine. If you are on Vitamin supplements especially Vitamin B supplements urine can have a strong odor. Also in some medical conditions like diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis, urine does have a strong odor. Do increase your daily intake of water to around 8-10 glasses a day and see if the smell decreases. Also do let me know if you have any other medical condition or have any other symptoms beside this.
Avatar n tn Lately when I urinate, it smells very strongly, but not of ammonia or of any of the other common complaints; more like animal urine (a very strong urine smell). I drink a lot of water, urinate regularly, and have no other symptoms. What could this be, should I be worried?
Avatar n tn Vitamins should not cause one to smell differently. What sort of vitamins are you taking? Beyond vitamins, some supplements can cause an odor such as with garlic capsules, but usually those are deodorized. So, are you taking vitamins and/or some other supplements?
Avatar f tn I can smell it on his jowls, the top of his head/neck, and comng from his mouth. I have washed him, I have used dog calone sprays, and I can still smell a distinct urine type smell arround his muzzle. What could this be? Others that have sniffed him only seem to smell the calones, but I KNOW im smelling something "off" with him.
Avatar f tn Everyday my vagina has a urine smell. It has become a huge deal in my relationship b/c every time my boyfriend goes down on me he is disgusted by the smell. Every single day i have a white discharge as well not alot but enough to make it come out on my underwear. How do i get rid of this urine smell? I keep around that area shaved so the bacteria won't get attached to my hair and that doesn't work either.
691724 tn?1230682644 Energy drinks are all the craze. My husband uses those little bottles of 5-HOUR ENERGY drinks. I read the label and it has extremely high amounts of Niacin and B12. I know certain vitamins are stored in the body while others aren't. Are these B vitamin doses safe on a regular basis? Also what happens to the body when high doses of B vitamins are ingested like this?
Avatar n tn hello, I currently am taking super b complex vitamin. After taking this vitamin, I notice that my urine is a deeper yellow and sometimes smells like the vitamin. Should I be concerned? also, I heard that this is a sign that my body is not absorbing the vitamin and that I am pissing it out as well as I should look into another brand, is this true?
676912 tn?1332812551 the vitamins can defintely change the color (b vitamines make it very yellow) and others can change the smell. have it checked just in case, but likely not a UTI without other symptoms. you could try changing your vitamin brand to see if that helps the smell....
Avatar f tn Doctors will tell you that your urine should be pale, but if you are taking a lot of Vitamin B (or eating a lot of food that is high in Vitamin B) you can get urine that is yellow for that reason alone. (My prenatal vitamins gave me very bright yellow pee.
282524 tn?1348489012 i have been having a problem for the past couple of months with very strong urine smell when i use the bathroom and it is a dark yellow. i dont drink alot of sodas. i drink water most of the time and coffee in the morning. and i eat as best as i can. im not sure why and i was thinking about making an appt for a dr. if anyone has any suggestions it would be great!!!
Avatar f tn This sounds really gross, but I'm just trying to figure out what the problem is. I'm 13+3. Ever since I got pregnant I've had either smelly urine or lady parts (I can't really distinguish where the smell is coming from). It's not fishy and not like anything I've smelled before. It just smells dirty. I take showers, not baths. I don't use soaps or douches in there. I don't go swimming.
Avatar f tn certain vitamins like vitamin B can do this... i cant remember which one but i used to take a vitamin B and it was like neon yellow...because your body is excreting what it doesnt use... i cant say ive noticed this with my prenatals but maybe my body is using mor than yours.... if im even correct by saying this?
Avatar f tn bt i read somewhere that durin pregnancy ur urine cn sometimes smell sweet..anyone had this problem.
Avatar f tn Your body will flush out the extra vitamins and minerals in your urine that your body doesn't need or use. Its just part of the functions in the kidneys (waste). So my guess (if youre not having other symptoms leading to diagnosis of infection) is your dark urine is an overload of vitamins and minerals I'm which your body is excreting extra waste tgrough kidneys. Extra vites probably from prenatals if you are taking those.
1323747 tn?1364806882 After the third day and third dose the taste was overwhelming, my skin also emitted the same smell and my urine reeked with it. In addtion I have headache, some nausea and a pain in my right abdomen below my ribs. I know the supplement is supposed to help my neuropathy but I could not take it today. Is this a normal reaction to a vitamin? . Metanx is a high B6, B12, and folic acid supplement.
Avatar m tn My doctor told me to start taking a B vitamin complex. I took it & my urine turned BRIGHT yellow. Is this normal or OK?
Avatar n tn After having an array of weird symptoms, I decided to start taking a Stress B-Complex and an additional B-12 supplement. It seems that most people who take B vitamins get extremely yellow urine when the excess vitamins flush out, but my urine remains either completely clear or barely yellow. I do drink lots of water every day. Is this a bad sign? Or simply a sign that my body actually is deprived of vitamin B and using up everything I pour into it? Do I need stronger supplements?
Avatar f tn I've been reading posts about this but they are all about low levels of vitamin B. Has anyone ever had their labs come back showing high levels of vitamin b?? My doctor that ordered the lad work is out of town for the next 3 weeks and the office told me he has someone "filling in" for him but they are not able to go over my labs with me. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn My pain doc said my vitamin B was low and wrote me an rx for Metanx, which is a vitamin B suppliment. I'm all for it. Except when I went to pick up the script the pharmacy informed me that my insurence won't cover it and it costs $123.00 a month. Wowsa. That's a fancy vitamin!! I asked him what the difference is between that and an over the counter vitamin B complex and he didn't really have much of an answer for me.
Avatar m tn @aduiki yes the livolin contain vitamin B2(riboflavin ) , vitamin B1 , vitamin B6 , vitamin B12 can this be the cause of change in urine color
Avatar n tn My husband has been having really foul smelling urine for a few weeks now, it smells like sulfur and is quite strong. There are times when I enter the bathroom a half an hour after he went and I can still smell it. He says he feels fine, and does not have any other symptoms. Has anyone had a similar problem or know what this might be??
3063937 tn?1352422855 I've been taking B stress with C, Multi-Vitamin, Tyrosine (for nerves/mood), Lyposine for tissue health (had sores on my mouth from yawning so much) Gingko Biloba, Acidophilus to help rebalance my digestive tract, and melatonin with therasine (green tea supplement) at night. I swear I smell like a multi vitamin now...LOL! Oh, and Emergence. Still got a cold though. Oh well, THAT I can handle.
Avatar f tn Thank you x
Avatar f tn The B vitamin most likely to cause the neon yellow color in your urine is vitamin B2, not B12. B2 is also known as riboflavin. MOST B vitamins are water soluble, and this is the case with vitamin B2, or riboflavin. The neon color is not something you need to be concerned with. I have this color almost all the time, as I am told to take more of the riboflavin to help prevent migraines.
Avatar n tn I could eat a plate of pasta, such as a casserole, and if there is 1 ounce of tuna in the dish, my urine will smell of tuna for the next couple of hours. No big deal. Also, I'm male so it's not my vagina or a UTI. It's just tuna. You are what you eat. A.H.
Avatar f tn My 88 year old father has a very very strong ammonia smell to his urine. We know he has kidney stone (that can't be remove due to health issues). I hate to take him to the doctor's for nothing, but could this be an infection?
