Healthy urine should be clear and straw-coloured, and shouldn't be particularly smelly. Some people find that their urine smells stronger and is darker first thing in the morning when it's more concentrated, or generally when they're dehydrated. Also, certain food and drinks, including asparagus, beer, garlic and coffee, may temporarily give urine a stronger smell.
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. Sweet-smelling urine may be a sign of uncontrolled diabetes or a rare disease of metabolism. Liver disease and certain metabolic disorders may cause musty-smelling urine. Some conditions that can cause changes in urine odor include: Bladder fistula.
