A member asked:

Is white sediment in urine a sign of infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: It could simply be salts precipitating out as the urine hits the toilet water. On the other hand if you are having white discharge from the urethra (tube running from bladder out), then this should be seen by a doctor pronto. Good luck.
