Why Is Urine Sometimes Smells Of Mushy Peas?

My urine sometimes smells of mushy peas and is very cloudy. A couple of weeks ago, I was intimate with my boyfriend (first time after 2 years) and it was a bit painful. When I went to the toilet afterwards, a lot of blood came with my urine. That lasted about 24 hours and I felt the need to urinate a lot. It felt that there was something pushing to get out. I went to the gynacologist and he said everything was ok with me from a physical point of view. However, this morning, my urine was smelly and cloudy again. I am 55 and have had two children. Many years ago, I had to go to a urologist and he cut something but I didn t understand as everything was in German and I didn t understand much at that time. (I live in Switzerland).
