What Causes Green Tissue Like Particles In Urine?

Posted on Wed, 9 Sep 2015

Question: I am male 45 yrs old. I have a UTI and am being treated with cipro 10 days 500 mg 2 x per day. I am on day 5. The UTI began with painful and frequent urination. I pee out chunks of what look like small pieces of tissue - often green or a orange or red color. Also when this happens the urine is cloudy brown and thick. Usually this happens in the morning and goes away by afternoon. In afternoon pee is clear and maybe 1 chunk or 2 in it. My doctor seems not concerned that there is stuff in my pee. Is this strange urination just a part of having the infection and will eventually clear?

Brief Answer:
It is due to UTI.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query ,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have UTI.and have been taking Ciprofloxacin

I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) Have you done urine culture before starting Ciprofloxacin ?

The pieces of tissue that you are passing in urine are clumps of epithelial lining of bladder mucosa which get shade off due to irritation and inflammation of bladder mucosa.

Please get your routine urine test and urine culture done to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to.

Please take broad spectrum antibiotics like Cefixime along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and urine alkalizer thrice daily .Later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.

Get the prescription of medicines from your family Physician.

Ensure to drink more water .To keep your urine dilute This will help to control dysuria.

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions ,I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.

Thank you. I will. I have just 4 days left on my prescription .
I also have what appears to be some gas in bladder once and a while. It feels good when I do as a pressure is released. This happened 2 times. I hope this is ok and part of uti.

It will feel like I am peeing but no pee just air comes out. Very strange. Only happens a few times. Only began when the uti was at its worst a few days ago so I think it is related and will hopefully go away when uti is cured.

Brief Answer:
It may be due to infection being caused by gas producing organisms .

Detailed Answer:
