Question
I had sex for the first time and a day later, when I urinated, there was a very strong smell. What is that? Is it normal?
Answer
If you have no pain or burning or unusually frequent urination then likely the strong smell is not from infection. I assume you used condoms(?) to prevent sexually transmitted infections.
If you continue to notice the strong smell, even when your urine is diluted because you've been drinking fluids, then please have it checked out by a health care provider.
