Question 1

for a couple of weeks or so i've been constantly nauseous, heavily fatigued and my urine has an obvious white, oily film on it. any answers?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid disease: With your symptoms would wonder about thyroid disease. With the oil in the urine, gallbladder disease comes to mind. Recommend you see your doctor for an evaluation and some testing. Best of luck.

Question 2

if i take 1- 2mg dose of sub film now will it be out of my system by wed am at 7:00? i don't want the naloxone to show up on a urine drug screen.

Accepted Answer

How old are you?: We need to know your age, too. Please put it in your public profile. We cannot answer questions from minors. Put your country or state, too. Age and location, and gender, can affect our answer, since some conditions are more likely in different places or in different age groups. Be honest! You expect if of us, and we expect it of you, too!

Question 3

i have frequent urinations and my urine is mostly cloudy and has a layer of oily film over it.it has been 7 months since the symptoms.my urine culture always come back negative for any bacterial growth.what else could it be?

Accepted Answer

: Frequent urination but no pain (dysuria) by your statement. 
Negative urine culture confirmed you do not have bladder infection but you have frequency and abnormal urine appearance. Absolutely, cloudy urine with an oily film are abnormal.  A formal urinalysis report will be helpful. Several systemic diseases can cause frequent urination but without significant change in urine appearance.

Question 4

is it normal to have urine that looks like water?

Accepted Answer

Read thru your pee: Yes, it is. 
The ideal color for urine is clear: you are adequately hydrating.
For most adults, that's 2-3 liters daily, depending on your degree of activity.
Compulsive drinking (of more liquid than this) is not normal, but that's very unusual.
Best liquids...water!

Question 5

i sometimes have browish red color sediment. looks almost like sand in my urine what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: Any reddish or brown color to the urine could mean something is going on in the bladder or kidneys.  You need evaluation by a doctor.  They will likely check your urine for blood or infection or protein and may check your blood levels for kidney function.

Question 6

ive had cloudy urine off and on since december. it comes and goes though during the day, and usually my urine will be cloudy 1-2 times a day, but other times during the day its fine and looks normal. what could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

: It would be helpful to get a urinalysis when the urine is cloudy-a clean catch specimen would be best. That would give you an answer as to what the abnormality is that is causing cloudy urine. An infection would not come and go throughout the day. Perhaps it is related to your fluid intake-dilute urine looks different than concentrated urine. If it continues, see your doctor for a urine test.

Question 7

what is that in my 91 yearold dads  urine that looks like cotton?

Accepted Answer

Sediment: Most likely sediment which precipitates out of urine in those who don't empty completely when voiding.  This would be fairly common in a 91y/o due to prostate enlargement.

Question 8

when i pee it looks like a little cloud of white is in my urine. been having this for years now. pleas help. ?

Accepted Answer

Get checked: Your doctor can check your urine for infection or other particles in your urine. Schedule an appointment as soon as you can!

Question 9

hello
i have a 4 year old girl she has a brown substance in her urine kinda looks like finkle matter  what could it be

Accepted Answer

See pediatrician: It could be that she is just having a bowel movement when she is urinating and you are seeing the fecal matter with the urine. It is best to have her see the pediatrician as soon as possible to make sure that there are no problems. It is rare but in some cases there can be an abnormal connection between the bowel and bladder. This is very serious please have her see as soon as possible.

Question 10
