5. A Urinary Tract Infection

Urinary tract infections are a common cause of smelly urine for women, also causing the urine to appear cloudy or bloody. If you develop a UTI, you will likely notice your urine has a strong ammonia smell, often described as foul or slightly sweet. This is a result of the bacteria that causes the infection. As the UTI progresses, a burning sensation may accompany urination; if this symptom does not pass quickly, it is another clear sign to see a doctor.
