If you’re experiencing smelly urine, you may assume it’s a sexually transmitted disease (or STD). However, there are several other common non-STD reasons that can cause your body to have this type of reaction.

Which STD Causes Foul Smelling Urine?

Chlamydia is a known sexually transmitted disease that can cause your urine to smell funky. It can be easily cured, but often difficult to detect. This is because its symptoms can be disregarded or misdiagnosed as a side effect of other ailments. These symptoms include:

Unusual vaginal discharge

Pain in the lower abdomen

Pain or swelling of the labia

Pain or discomfort when you urinate

Cloudy, smelly urine caused by pus

This STD can be contracted through unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex. If you recently had a sexual encounter and identify with any of these symptoms, visit a FastMed Urgent Care location for an STD test.

Other Reasons for Odorous Urine

Bladder infection

Cystitis: Bladder inflammation

Dehydration

Diabetic ketoacidosis

Gastrointestinal-bladder fistula: An abnormal connection between the intestines and bladder

Maple syrup urine disease: A rare genetic disease that causes difficulty breaking down certain amino acids and causes your urine to smell sweet Metabolic disorder: A problem with the way your body converts the foods you eat into energy

Type 2 diabetes

Urinary tract infection (UTI)

In addition, there are some less serious culprits for causing your urine to stink. There are many foods and medications that can produce a pungent odor to your urine, such as asparagus or certain vitamins.
