• Can birth control cause my urine to smell?

My urine has never really smelled before I started taking birth control, unless I had a UTI. Now it smells a little fishy. I'm pretty sure it's not a UTI, because I'm not feeling any pain in my abdomen, nor any other symptoms. Could this smell be caused by my birth control?

The smell of urine depends on what you eat not birth control pills.

No. Fishy odors need to be evaluated; please see your OBGYN or family practitioner.

Typically, birth control should not make your urine smell

Anything is possible, but in 36 years, I have never had anyone complain of this.
