Causes of Stinky Urine: Habits and Substances That Make Your Pee Smell Bad. There are many things that can cause stinky urine. There are many different types of smelly pee as well, from urine that just has a strong odor to urine that smells like nail polish remover, rotten cabbage or even like fruit.
Most of the time, urine does not have a strong smell if you are healthy and drink plenty of fluids. Most changes in urine odor are not a sign of disease and go away in time. Some foods and medicines, including vitamins, may affect your urine's odor. For example, eating asparagus causes a distinct urine odor. Foul-smelling urine may be due to bacteria.
