What Causes White Particles In Urine?
Question: I'm a male, this morning I woke up and took a pee, I know I didn't let everything out because I was in such a rush to get back in bed, after a little while my penis head started to burn and I figured it was because I didn't let all my urine out, when I started to pee again it looked like I saw little white particles, so I finished in a bottle and there are a bunch of white floating particles. I did masterbate before bed last night. What are these white particles
Brief Answer:
Self limiting. Drink plenty of fluids.
Detailed Answer:
Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!
Yes my most likely diagnosis is semen that come out with your urine. This condition is called retrograde ejaculation wherein the semen goes inside the urinary bladder rather than going out the urethra (passage of urine inside the penis). This is usually self limiting and will go away on its own especially in your age group.
If your pain on urination persists then I would suggest getting a urinalysis to check for infection since you may have UTI. This could easily be treated with antibiotics for 7 days. Also if you have dry ejaculation (orgasm without semen coming out) then you may need to get a transrectal ultrasound of the prostate to check for prostate abnormalities and a post ejaculation urinalysis to document the retrograde ejaculation. This is also treated with OTC cold remedies (phenyl epehrine).
I am confident your condition would go away or will only happen once and does not require treatment. in the meantime please drink plenty of fluids.
I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.HealthcareMagic.com/doctors/dr-manuel-c-see-iv/66014 I would gladly help you. Best wishes.

I did see a urologist for a while with testicle , bladder, and anus pain, and they said I Haas prostatitis I was on antibiotics for a long time, but in the end they said it's just inflammation, they don't take my new insurance and most urologist around me don't do in just making sure I'm ok, and nothing to worry about.
Brief Answer:
Drugs for prostatitis is known to cause retrograde
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for that information. Drugs use to treat prostatitis like (flomax - tamsulosin etc.) may cause retrograde ejaculation and this drug side effect would go away after 1-2 weeks after cessation of the drug.

Last thing sorry I drank a lot of water like an hour ago so I just had to pee again it didn't hurt as bad and there was less white particles, some decent size particles but a lot less then early this morning
Brief Answer:
That's very good.
Detailed Answer:
That's very good to hear and means that like I said earlier it is a self limiting condition and needs supportive treatment only primarily increased fluid intake.
