Why does my urine smell so foul?

Hi all, I had a right nephrectomy 2 months ago due to CCRC. I noticed prior to operation my urine was smelling horribly, but I thought it was the cancer. I still have the same smell now! I only take Telmisartan for BP and nothing else. Has anyone else experienced the same problem?

Thank you :)

Nice to meet you Gallmoe. I really felt for our NSW neighbours with the recent wild and woolly weather and the resulting power outages - must have been horrible. Until I became more "stuck" at home I did not really watch much T.V. but now I am addicted and would hate to be unable to watch it. I also think about all the frozen food lost and wasted, (Who checks to see that struggling OAP's don't re-freeze their food and then run the risk of serious illness?)

Thankyou - my health is good at this time, I manage perfectly well with one kidney but am anxious about scans and X-rays coming up. Hope you are well too! Ngaire x
