What Causes Burning Sensation During Urination With Presence Of Tissue In Urine?
Hello, I recently noticed some white flakes in my urine. I know it s odd, but sometimes I am lazy to go to the bathroom at night, and I urinate into plastic water bottles, and I noticed that when I urinated it burned, and now I see white particles that I know are not typical semen. Now, I seem to have burning whenever I use the bathroom in the morning, and not so much the rest of the day, and whenever I actually bother to examine my urine in a bottle, it always seems to have these white flakes now. What could this be? a UTI? Anything else?

Hello,
* As per my clinical experience, the burning urination with white specks in the urine does indicate cystitis with passage of epithelial casts most likely.
* In my clinic, after confirming the diagnosis with urine microscopy suggestive of certain CFU bacteria per cmm ( gram negative bugs ), I suggest a culture urine and basic guidelines of cure as
- plenty of liquids
- cranberry sachet once daily in a glass of drinking water
- avoid sexual intercourse if active
- private part hygiene care
- control of blood sugar
- prescription of fluoroquinolone as levofloxacin or others.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
