Not Medical Advice:
Many foods, such as asparagus, beer, garlic and coffee, may temporarily give urine a stronger smell. Certain medicines, vitamin and mineral supplements can also alter the odor of urine.
According to Mayo Clinic, unusual urine odor may also indicate a medical condition or disease, such as:
Bladder infection
Cystitis (bladder inflammation)
Congenital heart disease in adults
Diabetic ketoacidosis (high levels of blood acids called ketones)
Gastrointestinal-bladder fistula (abnormal connection between the intestines and bladder)
Maple syrup urine disease (rare genetic disease that causes difficulty breaking down certain amino acids)
Metabolic disorder (a problem with the way your body converts the foods you eat into energy)
Type 2 diabetes (uncontrolled)
Urinary tract infection (UTI)
