What Causes the Presence of Penicillin Odor in Urine?

Considering that the smell of penicillin in urine is caused by oral penicillin intake, it also cannot exclude reasons such as urine concentration and urinary tract infections.

1. Oral Penicillin: If the body has a certain illness and penicillin antibiotics, such as Amoxicillin Capsules and Cefradine Tablets, are taken, after being metabolized by the kidneys, the drug components may be excreted with urine, resulting in the smell of penicillin.

2. Urine Concentration: In hot summer days, more sweat may be excreted. If hydration is not paid attention to, it may increase the concentration of urine, resulting in a stronger odor.

3. Urinary Tract Infection: If proper hygiene and cleanliness of the urethra are not maintained, underwear is not changed promptly, or unsafe sexual practices are engaged in, pathogenic microorganisms may infect the urinary tract, causing diseases such as urethritis and cystitis. Due to the continuous secretion of inflammatory substances, the taste of urine may change.

Abnormal olfaction, such as chronic rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, and nasal polyps, should also be considered. It is recommended to visit a hospital and complete relevant examinations under the guidance of a doctor to clarify the specific cause.
