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.
The reasons your urine has a strong odor include: -Foods, medications and vitamins can all potentially cause your urine to smell. For example, eating asparagus or pineapple can both change your urine's odor in different ways. -Dehydration can leave the urine more concentrated, so it takes on more of an ammonia-like smell. -Bacteria in the urine can give it a foul odor. This can be caused by a bladder infection or fistula (when an opening forms between the bladder and bowel). -What causes urine to smell sweet? This may be due to high blood sugar, and can be a sign of poorly controlled diabetes.
