why does my pee smell like rotton eggs. i drink a lot of water and iam also drinking lemon and water but sometimes my pee smells like rotton eggs i notice that i dont eat aspargus often so i know that is not the cause.
urine can have an odor when it is very concentrated or from other foods. some foods (such as asparagus) vitamins and antibiotics (such as penicillin ) can cause urine to have a different odor. a sweet fruity odor may be caused by uncontrolled diabetes. a urinary tract infection (uti) can cause a bad odor. urine that smells like maple syrup can mean maple syrup urine disease when the body can't break down certain amino acids. a rotten smell should be medically-investigated at least by a urinalysis.
