The other is that fresh urine will have a bad smell if it is left for a long time. For example, male friends go to the hospital for a urine test. Due to various reasons such as busy work, the urine that needs to be tested has been left for too long, which can produce a bad smell. Of course, in some cases, male urine with a bad smell may indicate that they have certain diseases.
