Question 1

is it normal to have particles in urine?

Accepted Answer

No: Normal urine should be clear and light yellow in color. Cloudy urine may due to a harmless precipitation of phosphate crystals in alkaline urine. You can try drinking an acidifying substance like cranberry juice and lots of water to see if this will clear up the issue.  However, this could also be something more worrisome like a urinary tract infection, especially if the urine has a strong odor.

Question 2

white particles in urine during  cortisol 24 hr  culture. should i worry?

Accepted Answer

Unclear question: If you are collecting 24 hour urine for cortisol, you obviosuly are under the care of a doctor and it would be better to address the question to your doctor. White particles may be innocous such as mucus or serious if it is pus.

Question 3

i have brown colored discharge and particles in urine. i thought it was the end of my period but it's been like this for about 5 days now.

Brown urine : Now that you have determined it is urine  with burning and not period. Please get routine urinalysis, culture & sensitivity. Your doctor will be able to tell you the cause whether infection or blood from kidney, ureter or bladder. Many reasons. Dizziness can be due to blood loss causing anemia. Lexapro (escitalopram) can also cause dizziness and bleed rarely. See your doctor and wish you good health.

Question 4

i have white small stringy particles in urine. no symptoms but  scared something is wrong. did a cmp blood test and all was normal. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Urinalysis: A urine examination would have been more useful than a CMP. Do you have any symptoms? Could it be mucus from your genital tract rather than coming from the urinary bladder?
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

How late?: If you are more than 5 days past the date of the expected period, you did the test correctly and the result was negative, you are unlikely to be pregnant.
