Good morning doctors. i am the 62 year-old gentleman who texted about whitish/grayish/blackish pieces/particles when i urinate. the doctor said to drink more water. my question is how long should i wait if i still see these pieces before seeing a dr?

If you hydrate well for a week (2-2.5 liters/day if you have an average body mass) but heavy urine sediment persists or if urinary symptoms develop at anytime, you should see your doctor by then.
