Question : Hi my urine smells funny. Been 2 weeks. In the morning today it wasn't too bad and now it's not bad at all.
It happened after I had sex with my partner.

It feels a it funny when I go toilet like there's more but won't come out. Doesn't burn.
I feel a bit nausea too.
I bought cranberry juice.

Brief Answer:
Urinary tract infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Abnormal smell in the urine and feeling of incomplete urination is common in urinary tract infection, which is common after sexual intercourse.
I suggest you to take cranberry juice, if relieved in 2-3 days, then you should get a urine examination done and get appropriate treatment.
You should also drink plenty of fluids.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
