It started about a week ago and is steadily getting stronger. It is a sweet, salty, greasy, and fermented smell. Like a mixture of bacon and soy sauce(This has nothing to do with the urban terms "bacon vagina" and "Chinese lunchbox" -- this is for real). The smell is odd but not unpleasant. I've had lots of yeast infections, this does not smell like that. I've also had lots of UTI's and it doesn't smell like that either. Nevertheless, I've been testing everyday with Phinex strips and the pads for UTI's are always negative. My urine is pale yellow, crystal clear, contains no sediment, and smells like water. There are no other symptoms: frequent urination, peeing blood, itching, discharge, pain when urinating, abdominal cramps, etc.... Just the smell. I haven't eaten bacon or used soy sauce in weeks either. I am 62, went through menopause ten years ago, and have type 2 diabetes. I have not been sexually active. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I don't want to go to the doctor if it's nothing. My insurance is already maxed out for this year.
