Question : For the last several days, my urine has had a really strong smell. It usually does not. There is no burning or unusual color. Well, maybe a little cloudy. Do you know what this could be?

Brief Answer:
You need to increase your water intake.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query. It seems that your fluid/water intake is not adequate and you need to increase the amount. Since there is no burning sensation, I would not really worry about it. Drinking more water should resolve the problem.

If you think that the problem still has remained unresolved despite drinking more water (which is very unlikely), get a urine routine microscopy and share the reports using the facility on the upper right of this page and I will try to help further.

Thank you. That is probably it. I have not been drinking as much water lately as I usually do. I will start doing that immediately . Thank you.
