Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments of Cloudy Urine

3. Cloudy Urine: Strong Odor

When there is a presence of a strong odor in the urine, it is a clear sign to begin investigating the cause of cloudiness. Some people experience some odor normally when they urinate, based on the strong smells of foods or drinks that they ingest, especially garlic, coffee, and asparagus. However, a smell that resembles rotten eggs, ammonia should be addressed immediately. A sweet, acetone odor is present when people have trouble controlling an existing diabetes condition, or they are on a low-carb diet or fasting. A strong ammonia smell is usually a sign that a person needs to drink more water or get more fluids into their system.
