Why does pregnant women's urine smell bad?

Women's bodies will experience various changes during pregnancy, such as freckles on the face, body deformation, and swollen legs. These are external changes visible to the naked eye. There are also some internal changes, such as changes in urine due to endocrine disorders. Many people are curious about why pregnant women’s urine smells so bad. It may be caused by getting angry. You can eat more vegetables and fruits and keep a happy mood.

From the beginning of pregnancy, the mother's uterus begins to expand, and the expansion of the uterus affects all the internal organs of the pregnant woman. The greatest impact is the pressure on the bladder. In the late pregnancy, many pregnant women experience varying degrees of urinary incontinence because of the pressure of the uterus on the bladder. During pregnancy, metabolism is vigorous, the amount of metabolic products increases, and the fetus's metabolic products also need to be excreted through the mother's kidneys, which increases the burden on the kidneys and changes renal function. Therefore, protein or sugar often appears in the urine of pregnant women.

Because of long-term urinary incontinence, pregnant women's urine will be retained in the bladder and form sediment. It is normal for the urine to become stronger over time. Many pregnant women have a smelly urine in the late stages of pregnancy. Even personal hygiene and underwear washing do not work. In this case, they should go to the hospital for a routine blood test to see if there is inflammation or other gynecological diseases. If not, there is no need to worry too much, because this is a common pregnancy reaction, and the most important thing is to have a positive attitude. During pregnancy, pregnant women's endocrine system will be imbalanced. Strong smell of sweat and bad breath are all caused by endocrine disorders. The same endocrine disorder is also one of the reasons why urine becomes smelly. Because pregnant women cannot take medication during pregnancy, they can only adjust their diet when this happens. Eat more light rather than high-fat foods, and try to ensure adequate sleep. As the pregnancy enters the last two months, pregnant women begin to experience mobility problems and urinary incontinence. At this time, a mixture of urine and amniotic fluid often flows out of the pregnant woman's anus uncontrollably.

It is generally normal for urine to have a strong odor during pregnancy. But if there is a lot of discharge in your urine, you should see a doctor. If your urine has a strong odor during pregnancy, it means that there is "heat" in your body. You can drink more water or an appropriate amount of honey water, eat more vegetables and fruits, do some light housework and light exercise. The most important thing is to get enough rest, maintain a good attitude, and be happy and positive.

Keep your daily water intake at no less than 1500-2000 ml and your urine volume at no less than 1500 ml. This will help reduce the chance of bacterial reproduction and achieve the purpose of flushing the urinary tract. Eating more foods that are high in water content, such as fruits and vegetables, plays an important role in preventing urinary tract infections. In addition, in terms of diet, you should avoid eating too spicy and greasy foods to avoid damaging the liver and kidneys. Therefore, it is recommended to eat light vegetables and fruits, such as mangosteen, lotus root, coix seed, cucumber and cantaloupe.
