| Dehydration:When the body is dehydrated, urine will become concentrated and produce a strong ammonia smell. You should regularly replenish water, especially when the weather is hot and causes the body to sweat a lot. Photo:WiseGEEK. |

| Urinary tract infection:A urinary tract infection can cause your urine to smell like rotten food or stinky socks. If you also have a burning sensation when urinating or a fever, you should see a doctor. Photo:Medical News Today. |

| Imbalanced vaginal environment:You should only clean your vagina with clean water. Overuse of cleaning solutions can kill good bacteria, creating conditions for harmful bacteria to appear and develop. This will cause your urine to have an unusual smell. Photo:Prevention. |
