YOGYAKARTA A person's health can be known from the smell of urine. Apart from knowing the normal color of urine, it also smells as an indicator of the health of the urinary and health tract as a whole.

Normal urine is odorless. But mostly urine smells influenced by diet, vitamins, medicines, and hydration levels. But sometimes ammonia smell urine or pesing odors are a warning sign of health problems that need attention.

Petar Babic, MD., an urologist reported by Cleveland Clinic, Friday, October 21, said that ammonia smell of urine (ISK) could be a sign of urinary tract infection. A pesing and sulfur-like ammonia smell indicates that there are bacteria living around the urinary system. Most likely in uretra, kidney, or bladder.

Urine who shows signs that the ISK may be cloudy or even a little bleeding. When urinating may also be painful followed by fever and mental confusion. You should know, ISK is quite common. As many as 10 million Americans, explained doctor Babic, had an ISK and needed antibiotic treatment. This infection is more susceptible to older women and adults.

The causes of urine that smells like pesing are, among others, kidney stones or kidney disease, liver disease, menopaus, prostate infection, and sexually transmitted disease or climia.

Urination smells of pesing or ammonia aroma which also marks that you lack drinking and dehydration. Besides being influenced by certain food consumption and vitamins. If you smell pesing and pay for a lack of body fluids, maybe the smell of urine will change normally. But if not, immediately go to the medical professional.

Urination is very likely to smell sweet or fruit. This is a sign of diabetes or hyperglycemia, said the doctor Babic. This sweet smell comes from the body that emits excess glucose. But if the baby experiences diabetes, it can indicate a metabolistic disorder that is rare and life-threatening.

Well, have you ever had rotten urine? There are many reasons that are not dangerous if the urine smells of sulfur. Like after eating the Asparagus soup, garlic-based dishes, or onions.

But rotten urine can indicate one of the two rare metabolic disorders, namely trimethylaminuria. This metabolic disorder is known as GAMU or an emissive fish odor syndrome, which is caused by the body not being able to process trimethylamine. If you experience it, the smell of breath, urinosis, and dryness can smell very sickly. This condition is obtained because of heredity or other factors. But even if it's not fun, GUESTs are not too dangerous.

The reason why urine smells, because 95 percent is water. This water is the rest of waste products, such as calcium, nitrogen, potassium, and many more. The waste is filtered by the kidneys which may not be dangerous despite the smell of pesing urine. But if it still smells as time changes and lifestyles are followed by other symptoms, it is a condition that needs further medical investigation.
