Urin neprijetnega vonja

Customer question:

Dear Sir, I have had problems smelling urine for about half a year. I don't have any pain and I don't have a burning sensation when urinating, the only problem is the smell, which smells awful. I was at a doctor 4 weeks ago, who told me that I really have a lot of bacteria in my urine. However, the doctor did not decide on an antibiotic. I probably have a disturbed hormonal balance due to hormone therapy - Nolvadex. I read that the herb phyllanthus niruri - in Ayurvedic preparations are very helpful against bacteria. Please if you can advise me which natural thing could help me the best and fastest. Maybe some homeopathic remedy? thank you for the answer and have a nice day

Answer:

Dear Sirs, Thank you for your question. Urinary tract infections are a very common problem nowadays, so we hope that with the help of some of the presented products we will be able to help someone with similar problems.

Urine is a rather complex mixture of "waste" substances and is mostly composed of the following components (percentages vary, of course):

95% water
2% urea
ammonia
chloride
sodium
potassium
creatinine
sulfates
phosphates
uric acid

Some of the components of urine can in themselves have a rather unpleasant odor, which can be detected especially when the urine is very concentrated, otherwise normal urine usually does not have a pronounced unpleasant odor. Its smell depends on many factors and especially the health condition of the person. Thus, the smell can be affected by the human diet itself, so a small change in the smell of urine does not necessarily mean a serious health problem.

Normal urine: has an aromatic odor

Abnormal urine condition (may be due to certain medical conditions, etc.)
ammonia odor: in case the urine stays for a long time
fecal odor: due to urinary tract infection
fruit smell: ketosis
ray odor: tyrosinemia
smell of maple syrup: MSUD

Based on the smell and color of urine, we can often conclude about the problem itself, but to confirm the predicted problem, a clinical and laboratory examination of the cause of urine is often needed to check for white and red blood cells, nitrites, bacteria and specific compounds that are common in in case of bladder inflammation.

How do we cure a possible infection?

Most often, in the case of a urinary tract infection, an antibiotic is prescribed, which in certain cases is not feasible or sensible (excessive use of antibiotics is definitely not recommended, so it makes sense to do as much as possible on prevention).

We can definitely help ourselves by consuming as much water as possible. It also makes sense to use a combination of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and concentrated American cranberry juice. This extract helps to reduce the concentration of bacteria, and the mechanism of action of cranberry concentrate is to lower the pH of urine, which is an extremely unsuitable environment for bacteria to multiply and prevent the bacteria from attaching to the wall of the bladder itself.

You can buy all the products that make sense to solve such problems at the links below.

Can we influence the incidence of urinary tract infections?

Certain changes in lifestyle and diet can significantly affect the incidence of urinary tract infections. Often, doctors in people who have very frequent urinary tract infections opt for so-called prophylactic treatment.

Lifestyle changes
The proposed changes can help reduce the incidence of urinary tract infections:

- drink at least 6-8 glasses of water a day, in case of kidney problems it is always necessary to consult a doctor about fluid intake,

- Drink concentrated American cranberry juice or do therapy every now and then with a dietary supplement containing concentrated American cranberry extract,

- urinate as soon as you feel the need; don't wait for the bladder to overfill,

- take a shower rather than soak in the bath; especially in women, this can be a problem, as certain infections can pass from the water into the bladder,

- change panties daily, maintain the hygiene of intimate areas

- do not use tampons, but sanitary pads that are placed on the laundry,

- urinate before and after sexual intercourse,

- use non-spermicidal lubricants.
