increased odor in urine
Leema Mahajan says, if suddenly your urine smells bad, then there can be many reasons for it. Sometimes consuming excessive amounts of onion, garlic, coffee or some medicines increases the smell in urine. When there is lack of water in the body, urine becomes thick and smelly.
Apart from this, it can also be a sign of some diseases. Especially in case of urinary tract infection (UTI), urine starts giving off a strong or strange smell. At the same time, if urine smells sweet or fruity, it can be a sign of uncontrolled diabetes.
due to frequent urination
If you are suddenly urinating frequently, it could be a result of diabetes, UTI or excessive caffeine/alcohol consumption.
What does the color of urine indicate?
The nutritionist further explains, the color of urine also reveals secrets related to health. As-
dark yellow– If the urine is dark yellow in color, it may be a sign of lack of water in the body or excess amount of Vitamin B.
very light or clear urine– This can happen by drinking too much water. Apart from this, even in case of diabetes, the color of urine starts appearing light or clear.
foamy urine- Sudden appearance of foam in urine can be a sign of protein leaking in the kidneys.
red or bloody urine– This could be a sign of stones, infection or kidney related problem.
cloudy urine- If urine feels cloudy, it is also often due to infection or dehydration.
Keep these things in mind
Lima Mahajan says, sometimes the color or smell of urine can change due to food, drink or medicine, which is normal. But if this change persists for a few days, then definitely consult a doctor. Along with this, drink enough water throughout the day, take care of cleanliness and personal hygiene, and also do not hold urine for too long.
Small changes in urine are a mirror of your body’s health. So the next time you notice a difference in the smell or color of urine, do not ignore it.
