I am a 32 year old woman. I have noticed for the last 3 months my urine has been smelly in the morning and thought nothing of it. Then the stinging began, so I drank lots of water which fixed the problem however, my first morning urine is still smelly and always has Nitrites in it! The doctor has lab tested my urine which has no infection, but still positive nitrite. The doctor says she has never seen this before and wants me to take a course of antibiotics and then send my urine off for further tests if I am still getting the nitrites. I am starting to worry something is wrong with my kidneys 😕. Any ideas anyone?
The thing is that they should test your urine first and culture it for bacterial infections, before giving you antibiotics.
They have and say their is no infection, yet my urine smells and has nitrites in it.
What are you eating? Many foods are high in nitrates and nitrite s
I eat a paleo diet
Isn't that a lot of meat. Isn't meat high in nitrates and nitrites
You know something, that is a good point...... and you reckon that would show up in urine?
I have exactly this! My urine smell's weird and my urine tests come back positive for nitrates but I have no symptoms and no uti. Been like this for about a year now. Did you find out what it was? Would be really helpful
did you find out what it was? i am having the same problem and there is no information anywhere!
