Sign 5. Cloudy or Foul-Smelling Urine
Kidney stones can also cause changes in the appearance and smell of your urine. Cloudy or foul-smelling urine is often a result of an infection in the urinary tract or the presence of pus and bacteria. In some cases, the urine may also have a strong, pungent odor, indicating the presence of an infection.
If you notice a change in the color, consistency, or smell of your urine, it’s essential to consult a medical professional. They can perform tests to determine if a kidney stone or infection is the cause and recommend appropriate treatment.
