I have had a hysterectomy and take a lot of vitamins each morning. I am not sexual active so I was wondering if my vitamins could be giving my urine a foul smell?

Hello - thanks for asking your question.
Before attributing the foul smelling urine to vitamins, there are other diseases that can cause this symptom. Urinary tract infections, STDs, kidney stones and dehydration can also cause smelly urine. You should discuss these possibilities with your personal physician before attributing the cause to vitamins.
I suggest followup with your personal physician.
