Why does urine smell strong in men?
A change in the organoleptic properties of urine is the first thing that is noticeable to the naked eye and can be determined by the patient himself. But, answering the question of why urine smells strong, you need to determine the reasons for this phenomenon. The presence of a noticeable expressed miasm in a waste product does not always indicate the presence of pathological processes. As you know, urine is the final product of metabolism, and its external characteristics can temporarily change due to the nutritional characteristics, hormonal status and lifestyle of a particular person.
In what situations is a change in the usual aroma of urine not regarded as a sign of pathology: When increased physical activity or hot weather leads to increased sweating, and the insufficient volume of fluid entering the body causes manifestations of dehydration. One of its signs can be called the characteristic appearance of excreted urine. At the same time, urination is rare, the volume of outgoing fluid is scanty and has a concentrated appearance: the urine is rich in color and has a strong smell.
When certain types of foods are used in food, they can give the secreted liquid a characteristic sharp iron. These include coffee, beer, asparagus, garlic.
When vitamin or enzyme preparations are used to treat the underlying disease. Most of them impart a specific, sharp, acidic miasm to the waste product, which is warned about in the annotation for the medicine.
Advice: if, after twenty-four hours after completing the course of treatment, returning to a normal diet, normalizing the drinking regime and proper rest, undesirable signs remain in the urine, then the presence of the disease can be considered the cause of their appearance.
What diseases affect the smell of urine?
The process of formation of urinary stones in any part of the urinary system: bladder, renal pelvis, ureters. An exacerbation of the disease, manifested by the movement of stones along the urinary tract, causes severe pain and a noticeable ammonia deposit in the urine, which persists for a long time.
Inflammatory reactions in the mucous layer of the urinary tract, as well as in the parenchymal part of the kidneys, can give the secreted fluid an unpleasant, putrefactive amber, combined with other negative visual changes.
Genetically determined metabolic disorders (leucinosis). One of the characteristic manifestations of this pathology is the special aroma of the secreted liquid, similar to maple syrup. This pathology is classified as congenital and has no specific treatment. To combat it, only symptomatic or palliative therapy is available.
Insufficiency of liver function. In almost all cases it is manifested by visual changes in the organoleptic characteristics of the waste product. The liver has a detoxification responsibility. When the functioning of hepatocytes is impaired, the end substances of metabolism are not fully inactivated, accumulating in the blood over time. Passing through the kidney filter system, some of them enter the urine, giving it an unpleasant iron.
Ketoacidosis is a complication caused by type 2 diabetes mellitus. Due to a violation of carbohydrate-fat metabolism, one to two hours after eating, and in the morning, urine acquires a pronounced acid-base iron. This is a signal that the dose of the corrective drug is selected incorrectly. The unpleasant symptom will disappear with increasing dosage of hypoglycemic drugs.
If the urine of men smells like ammonia, then this is a sign of insufficient production of the liver enzyme responsible for the utilization of this substance. On the other hand, a similar transformation of the smell of urine occurs against the background:
Predominant consumption of protein foods,
Poor drinking regime,
Long-term urine retention,
Exceeding the recommended dosage when using iron and calcium supplements.
The appearance of “mouse” amber is caused by a change in the qualitative composition of the secreted liquid against the background of a violation of amino acid metabolism. At the same time, the retention of phenylin in the tissues contributes to the development of central nervous system pathology, and a characteristic miasm of discharge appears in babies immediately after birth.
Why does my urine have an unpleasant fishy smell? This may be a manifestation of a serious genetic disorder in the breakdown of trimelamine due to liver enzymatic deficiency. Such a change in the waste product can be provoked by: weakness of the immune system, infectious and inflammatory phenomena of the urinary system, diseases that are sexually transmitted.
With increased sulfur content in the body, the secreted liquid acquires a miasm of rotten eggs. This is due to increased consumption of foods containing sulphine. The compound accumulates and is then excreted in urine.
Unpleasant “cat” fetor can be transmitted to waste products due to impaired breakdown of lecithin, characteristic of the pathological condition B-Methylcrotonylglycinuria.
What should you be wary of?
Changes in the natural smell of urine in men can occur either independently or in combination with other negative symptoms. You need to know them because such a condition requires mandatory medical examination and treatment.
The following should cause concern:
Decreased interest in food
Excessive causeless thirst,
Sexual function disorders,
Obvious swelling in the face and limbs,
A burning sensation that accompanies the completion of urination
Pain in the lower back,
The appearance of erosions and ulcerative defects on the genital organ,
Turbidity of urine, presence of sediment and flakes in it.
According to the laws of nature, the urine of men has a more pronounced specific odor. This is due to the high content of sex hormones in their secretions. A temporary increase in amber is caused by drinking beer and physical activity. If the negative change is sustainable and persists for a long time, especially if combined with other pathological signs, then such a phenomenon requires a medical examination.
