What causes strong odor in male urine?

The most common reason for male urine to smell bad is that they do not pay attention to hygiene and have a lot of smegma on their foreskin, which causes the urine to smell bad. If they do not like to drink water, their urine will be concentrated. At the same time, they will have urinary tract infection. Due to the action of bacteria, the urine will have an abnormal odor. It is recommended to open the foreskin and wash it clean every day to effectively reduce the occurrence of smegma and bacterial infection. It is recommended to do a routine urine test to see if there are red blood cells, white blood cells, and bacteria in the urine. It is encouraged to drink more water and take anti-inflammatory drugs, which can effectively improve the odor of urine. At the same time, it is encouraged to eat a light diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and eat less meat.

Possible causes of strong odor in male urine:

1. A high-protein diet or a diet containing a lot of meat for a long time can cause urine to have a strong smell. This is because after the protein is decomposed, it forms substances containing nitrogen, which further decompose into substances containing ammonia, so urine will have a strong smell. You can appropriately adjust the diet structure, meat and protein combination, and maintain a certain amount of water intake.

2. If there is a urinary tract infection, there may be a strong smell in the urine. The bacteria in the urine can decompose nitrogen-containing substances to produce ammonia and hydrogen ions, so there will be a volatile odor and a strong smell. At the same time, it may also be accompanied by symptoms such as cloudy urine, frequent urination, and urgent urination. A routine urine test is needed to further confirm.

3. If you hold your urine for a long time or drink less water, you will lose more water, which will cause the urine to be concentrated and have a strong smell. At the same time, the urine may also be yellow, but generally there are no urinary tract irritation symptoms. You need to drink more water and urinate more.
