Question 1

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.

Question 2

hi,i had pain and burning in pee on saturday.passed small brown  particles in urine.doc gave me ural powder.i am still bleeding&white gel like thing.

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: If the symptoms don't improve as usually expected in 2-3 days or worsening such as fever, contact the treating Doc time for re-evaluation, possible care modification, and counseling so you may gain more insights to collaborate with Doc for more effective care.

Question 3

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 4

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 5

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.

Accepted Answer

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 7

Question 8

hi i have been seeing small black specks in my urine for about a week now, they come and go but it has been relatively consistent. i am wondering what that means. i dont see any foam or blood in my urine either so i just want to know what to expect?

Accepted Answer

: We can pass various types of sediments in our urine. Some sloughfed off cells in the urinary tract may be the cause. In my experience black specks have most often been fragments of stones in the upper or lower urinary tract.  Even though you have no symptoms, I recommend that you have a clean catch urinalysis,culture,colony count&amp; microscopic exam of sediment for complete evaluation of your urine.

Question 9

ive been having tiny black bits in urine on and off for a month. what can cause this? i'm a female and i've had urinalysis that come out normal.

Accepted Answer

Here are some...: One thing for sure is you, most likely, okay since you have been free of urinary / genital symptoms. Clinically, what you observed and described could represent the presence of amorphous crystals in alkaline urine which refects what you consumed or the possibility of contamination in urine collection. So, live on as the first choice or seek evaluation/counseling as suggested if insisting or obsess

Question 10

my 29 month old boy ..after he urinates in bathroom i noticed that small black ants were surrounding the urine after sometime.no other signs and symptoms. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Not to worry.: Small black ants may be attracted to urine simply because they are seeking food, or by the components found in urine, including urea, water, sugar, proteins, etc. In some diabetic persons, large amounts of sugar can be excreted in the urine and therefore attract more ants. If your child shows signs of constant thirst, fatigue, frequent urination and sometimes blurred vision, they need to see a Dr.
