Can Less Water Intake Lead To Musty Smelling Urine?
i have had musty smelling urine which is cloudy the last month on and off. I am working over 60 hour a week in a stressful job, am not exercising as usual, and not getting enough water intake. When i do concentrate on drinkin 98 glasses of water a day, my urine is clear and not as smelly. i am 60 y/o white female.

Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you are passing musty smelling urine .
This is mostly due to your urine being concentrated due to less water intake .
Please get your routine urine test done to rule out any infection .
Ensure to drink more water to keep your urine dilute .
