So once in a while, my urine smells...kind of sweet. To me, it smells kind of like buttered sweet corn. o.0 Anyone know what's up with that?

I've sometimes noticed my urine smells a bit like popcorn. Uhm..
This is often right before a period, or after a few days of ingesting a lot of splenda, which isn't processed the same way sugar is.. too much sugar might have the same effect?

Any chance you're diabetic? In diabetics excess blood sugar is secreted in the urine. Before they had blood tests to check for diabetes, doctors would taste a patient's urine to see if it was sweet.

That would make me concerned, if you have a family history, and you're smelling sweet urine. A few common symptoms of uncontrolled bloodsugar are excessive thirst, with excessive urination. Peeing ALL the time, getting up at night, stuff like that. You said below that you pee a lot in regards to a UTI...do you have the urgency & burning that would indicate that? I would definitely call your University Health Center to be seen, if you think that these are possibilities! Good luck!!

Are you sure it's not a UTI? Cause they can have pretty smelly urine, too.

Yeah, I agree with the above suggestions that you go take a pee test. That'll screen for UTIs, for sure, and I imagine will also cover things like sugar levels. Good luck!

I've noticed my urine sometimes smells like popcorn. I wouldn't say sweet, though. Hm. Dunno if that's much help, but in my case I don't think it's a medical issue...
