Birth Control Pill = Urine Smell?

by Matilda2, Jun 09, 2008 03:28PM
I've recently noticed that my urine has a strong, rotten egg-like smell. Could this be due to my birth control pill  (originally Ortho-Tricyclen and now Microgestin)? If not, any idea what it might it be related to? I've not had any significant diet changes. Thank you.

Hello,

Probably not the pill, but may be something dietary.  Try to stay well hydrated and if it persists see your doctor.

Best regards,

Dr. Downing
