Why does my urine smell strong at times and not at others?

Sometimes it has to do with your diet if it is during the day. If it is in the morning, it's because your body worked all night to clean out your organs.\nDrink plenty of water and you'll begin to see clear urine. Usually it is the darker urine that smells it means your body is working extra hard. I keep a half gallon container in the refrigerator and try to drink it in one day.

The best thing to do would be to go to the doctors and get checked out. All girls have a strong smell in their private areas anyways, but it's better to be safe than sorry

it is really hard to say, but you should go and see a doctor. It could be many things like a UTI or the clap, but your doctor can help with that.

Bowel irritability and kidney problems can arise from blood in urine.  Go back to your doctor and ask for a battery of tests.  Better safe than sorry.

Food you eat can also cause I change in smell. Asparagus and Brocolli are notorious. Excessive red meats can do it too.

You may be slightly dehydrated.  Drinks fluids especially water. Your urine should be pale yellow normally.

it could be an allergies, or an unseen germ or bacteria.  You could also have a radon leak, or a natural gas leak, both of these can not been seen or smelled.  You need to consult your doctor and he will do blood tests to see if you have any toxins in your system

One possible reason may be the glucosinolates present in asparagus and other brassica vegetables.  Through a series of chemically transforming steps during digestion, glucosinolates become molecules such as Indole-3-carbinol that modulate (usually up-regulate) the activity of certain enzymes in your body involved in detoxification and metabolism.  This process may lead to a transient increase in certain odoriferous metabolites that are eliminated in urine.\n\nBest wishes!

Hmm, I've never heard of a body that just smells like urine because of kidney disease, unless you pee on yourself or something. I have, however, heard of people having the ability to smell a certain pheromone called androstenone which can smell like urine to some people. It's a component of male sweat, so I dunno if this applies by your picture or name. But it's possible that perhaps you or members of your family can smell this, and if you're sweaty...

Sweat is an odorless liquid.\nIt contains various salts (including sodium chloride) and urea dissolved in water.\nThis urea is the same as that excreted in urine (which also contains the same salts).\nSo in many ways sweat and urine are very similar.\n\nSweat from our armpits is unusual because it also contains proteins and fatty acids which over several hours are acted upon by skin bacteria and generate that stale odor.\n\nSweat on other parts of our body takes ages to get smelly - though you might prefer to have a wash before this happens!

Good question!\nI do not expect any points, all I know it has a cleaning affect on kidneys and bladder ridding the body of all radicals and wast products.\n\nThe smell is the bacteria being flushed out of your body.\n\nHopefully some Medical Guru can answer your question\n\nFOUND THE ANSWER IN WIkipedia:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asparagus\n\nSome of the constituents of asparagus are metabolised and excreted in the urine, giving it a distinctive, mildly unpleasant odor. The smell is caused by various sulfur-containing degradation products (e.g. thiols and thioesters). Studies showed that about 40% of the test subjects displayed this characteristic smell; and a similar percentage of people are able to smell the odor once it is produced. There does not seem to be any correlation between peoples' production and detection of the smell

I agree that it could be caused by your prenatal vitamins, if you're using them. The iron and the dyes used in them can affect the color of your urine and feces, both.\n\nMention it to your doctor, just to be on the safe side.\n\nTake care and be well! :)

Because these sugary treats are expelled from your body through urine, feces and your pores.  Drink more water if you want to change your urine.  You should anyway if your smelling your urine that strongly whether it be sweet or sour.  Your kidneys and bladder will thank you.

Do not pee on your hand. It could be a number of things. My first thought is Jaundice. But, only being your hand I not sure. Go here and read; http://www.umm.edu/ency/article/003243.htm

Everybody is familiar with this phenomenon. Most of us have a friend or relative who can clear out a room when they kick off their shoes. And even the sweetest smelling person can do a decent job stinking up a pair of shoes by running a few miles in them. So what's going on here? Why do your feet have a stronger odor than the rest of you does?\n\nThe main thing that feeds foot smell is sweat. With more than 250,000 sweat glands each, your feet are among the most perspiring parts of the body. In one day, each foot can produce more than a pint of sweat! Sweat is basically just salt and water, though, so it doesn't have a distinctive smell of its own. The smell is actually caused by bacteria on our skin that eats the sweat and excretes waste that has a strong odor. It's perfectly normal to have bacteria on your skin, and it doesn't ordinarily produce a noticeable smell, but sweat attracts bacteria and gives them a whole lot to feed on.\n\nOf course we sweat all over -- our hands have a comparable number of sweat glands, for example -- and most of the rest of our body doesn't particularly stink (the armpits being a notable exception. See How Sweat Works for details.) So what's different about our feet? The answer is our socks and shoes. The sweat our feet excrete can't easily escape into the air like the sweat our hands excretes -- it all collects on our skin and in our socks. The bacteria love this dark, damp feast and have a sort of feeding frenzy. When you take off your shoes, the smell that hits you is all the bacteria excretion that's collected on your feet and in your socks and shoes.\n\nThe main reason some people's feet (or more precisely, some people's socks and shoes) smell worse than other people's is that some people sweat more than other people. This is just one of the many variable physiological qualities of human beings. This is also why sometimes your feet smell much worse than at other times -- it all has to do with how much you sweat.\n\nSo, since foot odor is caused by bacteria digesting sweat, there are two main ways to reduce the stink. You can:\n\n    * decrease the amount of bacteria on your feet\n    * decrease the amount of sweat that collects on your feet and in your shoes \n\nReducing the level of bacteria is really a matter of cleanliness. To control the bacteria population on you feet, you should:\n\n    * wash your feet with strong anti-bacterial soap\n    * wear clean socks\n    * don't wear the same shoes everyday - give a pair of shoes 24 hours or more to air out before wearing them again \n\nTo reduce the amount of sweat that collects in your shoes, you should:\n\n    * wear well-ventilated shoes instead of very constrictive shoes, such as boots\n    * always wear socks, preferably made of cotton or other absorbent materials that absorb a lot of the sweat so the bacteria can't feed on it\n    * change your socks a few times a day\n    * buy some absorbent Odor-Eater type shoe inserts\n    * apply an antiperspirant to your feet \n\nIf your foot odor is really bad and these solutions don't help much, then you should see a doctor. There are a number of prescription drugs that can treat serious foot odor, some by killing bacteria and some by reducing foot sweat
