Specializes in Family Medicine

Explanations : I am not sure as well. Prepare few samples of urine and check if these flakes really present in all of them. If yes - go to Doctor. If not - nothing to worry about if you do not have any other problems. Occasionally some flakes can be in urine due to different foods you had this day.

I saw a fleck of hard, dried red blood fall into my urine. Later that day, I had light red and brown discharge. My period is due & I'm waiting for it. Can the dried fleck be my period or is it blood in urine?
