My urine has been smelly and dark for a month, but I don't feel any pain when I urinate, only an unpleasant smell. I haven't changed my diet nor my medication (I only take the Alesse contraceptive pill). Is this normal?

Hello Ma'am,
No, smelly urine accompanied by no other symptoms (fever, pain when you urinate, secretions, cloudy urine, weight loss, etc.) should not worry you.
Many things go into making urine color and smell. Diet first, but also exercise level and kidney and liver health.
If you feel some of the symptoms mentioned above, I encourage you to see a doctor. Otherwise, there is no need to worry at this time!
