Just before Christmas I went to the loo in the morning and immediately noticed a very strong smell coming from my urine, like nothing I have ever smelt before. There was no pain or urgency, if anything the flow a little slow. The smell gradually lessoned as the day went on and then restarts each morning. I wondered if dehydration was the cause, with lots of boozing over Christmas, now it’s over I’ve made a conscious effort to drink lots of water etc but the issue continues.
I have had several UTIs in my life, but usually that causes pain and peeing all the time, if anything I’m peeing less! And I’ve never noticed this strong smell before, kind of chemical.
Could it still be a UTI? It’s almost impossible to get time off work to visit the GP, so I’ve been trying to avoid it.
