Sign 6: Cloudy or Foul-Smelling Urine
Cloudy or foul-smelling urine is a potential sign of kidney stones in women. The presence of a stone can cause irritation and inflammation within the urinary tract, leading to an increased production of mucus and pus. This can result in cloudy, turbid urine with a strong, unpleasant odor.
In some cases, cloudy or foul-smelling urine may be indicative of an infection, particularly if accompanied by other symptoms, such as fever or chills. It is essential to seek medical attention if you experience these symptoms to determine the underlying cause and initiate appropriate treatment.
In the case of kidney stones, maintaining proper hydration and taking over-the-counter pain relievers can help alleviate the symptoms. (6)
