    The strong smell of male urine is often caused by drinking less water. It is not ruled out that it is caused by prostatic hyperplasia, urethritis and other causes. Treatment can be carried out according to the cause.

    1. Drink less water

    If you drink less water on a daily basis, your urine may become more concentrated and cause a stronger odor. This situation generally does not require special treatment and can be improved by drinking more water.

    2. Prostatic hyperplasia

    Excessive obesity, inflammatory stimulation and other reasons may induce the disease, leading to symptoms such as frequent urination and incomplete urination. You can use doxazosin mesylate sustained-release tablets, finasteride tablets and other drugs as directed by your doctor to assist in improvement.

    3. Urethritis

    The disease may be caused by pathogenic infection, and symptoms such as abnormal urinary tract secretions and yellow color often occur. Roxithromycin capsules, cefixime granules and other drugs can be used for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

    In addition, it may also be caused by cystitis, urethral stones, pyelonephritis and other reasons, and you need to go to a regular hospital for treatment in time.
