What Causes Burnt Smelling Urine?

hello dr, for the past few weeks, my pee has been smelling burnt, the color would be yellow or gold which is normal for me. i have not had any other symptoms but it is starting to worry me since i have been drinking a lot of water since it started. I am 23 years old, 175 pounds and i stay active. My diet is average and i do eat about a cup of chips nightly.

Dear- thanks for using our service, I read your question with care and will give you my advise. You should get a sample of the urine for culture and sensitivity to make sure that you dont have an infection. Other possibility is that you might be eliminating a lot of protein in the urine.The best way to find out is checking out the urine and see if it has protein,blood or sugar. If you have negative results but still with this problem, I advise you to see an urologist for possible renal ultrasound and cystoscopy.
I hope that my advise has been helpful
