Frequent Urge For Urination, Cloudy Urine And Foul Smell. Infection Chances?

Hi, For months now i have been feeling the urge to urinate a lot, sometimes so much that i can barely hold it in. My friend works in the Micro lab and tested my urine but saw no infection. My urine is sometimes cloudy and darker than usual and has a strong smell. I am aso suffering from a lot of wind. its not causing pain but is just a bit embarrassing

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
You should understand frequent and urgent urination is commonly due to a urinary tract infection.
But there are many other causes which a Physician /Urologist needs to take in consideration.
Diabetes, and prostate problems may these symptoms.
Alcohol use,Anxiety,Caffeine, infection of the prostate,Interstitial cystitis,Medicines such as diuretics,Overactive bladder.
Cystometry (a measurement of the pressure within the bladder),Cystoscopy,Nervous system (neurological) tests,Ultrasound ,Urinalysis,Urine culture and sensitivity tests
If you take alcohol, or too much Tea or coffee please avoid taking it.
You should see a Urologist and investigate properly to identify the cause then it can be treated.
Take care
good Luck
