What Does Cancer-Related Urine Smell Like?
Community Member
a year agoOk when they talk about the smell of your urine is a clue that you still have cancer, does anyone know the smell they are referring to?
Accepted Answer
Cancer-related changes in urine odor can vary significantly from person to person, and many factors beyond cancer can affect how urine smells, including medications, foods, hydration levels, and other health conditions. This is definitely something worth discussing with your healthcare team, as they can provide personalized guidance based on your specific situation and help determine if any changes warrant further evaluation.
