Can kidney stones make your urine smell?

Yes, it can smell quite strong, which often happens when you aren't drinking enough water to balance out all the spices and food. When I had a stone, I had to cut down on my heavy restaurant meals and focus on simple home food with lots of fluids to clear things up. Keep hydrating!

Yes, it can, especially if you are dehydrated or if there is a mild infection. Drinking plenty of fresh coconut water and barley water can help flush out toxins and reduce the strong smell. But if the smell is accompanied by severe pain or fever, please consult a doctor immediately.

A strong or foul smell in your urine when you have kidney stones can often be a sign of a urinary tract infection. This requires proper medical attention and antibiotic treatment if confirmed. Please get a urine routine test done and consult your doctor for safety.

Yes, it can. Strong-smelling urine usually indicates high concentration of minerals or a secondary UTI caused by the stone. Don't guess around; just get a basic urine culture test done and show it to a urologist to get the right treatment.

I literally just recovered from a kidney stone last week, and yes, my urine had a very strong, unusual smell. My doctor told me it was because I wasn't drinking enough water and my urine was highly concentrated. Once I upped my water intake to 4 liters, the smell went away.

Yes beta, kidney stones can cause the urine to have a strong odor because of the high mineral content or an infection. I always advise people in our community to monitor the color and smell, and if it looks cloudy or smells bad, get a quick doctor's advice.
