What could cause white particles in my urine?

I have the same problem. Went to get tested for STIs, and I ended up having chlamydia. If you're sexually active - even if you use condoms - you could get tested for that.

I have white stringy stuff in my urine almost everytime i uninate. Its hard to pee most the time but doesnt hurt or burn. I had urinary tract infection and was given anti biotics but havent been checked since. The stuff is still in my urine. What should i do at this point. Im a 44 yr old male in pretty good shape but i smoke.. Thanks for any responces you may have..

Does protein in urine cause white stringy stuff in urine ?

for men its usually due to semen in the bladder. this is why it has the unique odor. if you urinate in a container and let it sit you should notice the particles settling at the bottom. that is a dead give away

Hey, I'm 18 year old male and have seen that sometimes there are also white particles in my urine. This occurs about once a month, but my penis is very sensitive and painful at the time and trying to urinate isn't as easy. It also burns for the duration that am urinating, but does feel more 'comfortable' after a while, now I do not know whether it is serious, but I have seen much research on it stating that it might not be as serious, also if your not masturbating or having sex (basically just releasing sperm in any way) as much as you used to, that your body gets rid of the semen that is created through urine, if you don't let it out yourself. I don't know if this post helps, but what I know.

Many of these posts sound like "IC" or Interstitial cystitis. It is very commonly misdiagnosed as UTI at first, until your tests come back negative for an infection. white particles along with painful bladder and frequent urination could very well be Interstitial Cystitis or Painful Bladder Syndrome.

The white "floaters" in you urine could be caused by petechial hemorrhages (small wounds) inside your bladder, which are associated with interstitial cystitis. The hemorrhages can be caused by the constant irritation of your bladder after drinking acidic beverages like soda and coffee. Essentially, the floaters are little bits of your bladder wall shedding.

Hope that helps

WHAT DID YOU FIND OUT?

so what is the treatment in your view? and most important what causes this?

mycoplasma and ureaplasma std

I had this same issue and when I quit eating dairy this issue went away

Try talking to a neurologist, I don't want to alarm you, but it might be Multiple Sclerosis, my husband has been experiencing the same thing, of which, his doctor ordered an MRI and MRA, which discovered it's MS. It took many doctor visits and doing some research online, along with the symptoms, lead us to believe it could be MS. It's sad that a person has to do their own research and bring it to their Doctor's attention, so that the proper tests can be done in order to get the proper care. I hope everything turns out fine for You. Take Care... :)

Sounds like you have a neurogenic bladder. Please get it checked out. Perhaps you are not voiding completely.
Happened to me.

Hi. I'm 18 years old and am freaked out. I went to the bathroom to pee and, during the stream, white fluid came out in a large amount. I am a virgin so I have no idea why this is happening or if I am in any harm. someone please help me.

Wow.. NON-GMO!! I knew corn was bothering me.. Went to the movies, submitted to the 8$ bag o' popped buttery goodness.. Only change in my diet in days.. And this morning I had floaters again! Thank You!!!!

What an uneducated load of rubbish. Protein is digested in the stomach and in the small intestine. It is broken down into amino acids, the building blocks of protein, and absorbed through the epithelium of our small intestine to enter the bloodstream. The protein which is abnormally found in urine (and which the person above is referring yo) is not dietary protein - it is protein that we ourselves have assembled from the amino acids we absorb through diet - the 22 amino acids which are ubiquitous in nature. Now here's the kicker: GMOs, which I readily eat, assemble proteins the same way we do, using the same set of amino acids we and every other organism does. There is absolutely nothing strange or funky about this level of protein building in a GMO - it's the material of life! The DNA of a GMO is also the very same molecule as the DNA found in an elephant, a strawberry, or a duck - the difference simply being a gene (or several genes) has been added to the GMO's genome, which allows the plant to produce a protein that it normally wouldn't produce. These added proteins may be enzymes which catalyze specific reactions in the plant (just like our enzymes catalyze reactions in our bodies) to achieve the desired phenotype (trait). So the focus on the effects of GMOs lies not so much with the science (as we understand very well the biology of protein synthesis), but rather with what the desired trait of the plant is - does it produce more cancer-fighting phenols or anti-oxidants? Or is the desired outcome to produce natural toxins for pesticide use? There are countless opportunities to produce plants with increased nutrition, yet there are also some plants which could be developed for purposes less concerned about health benefits, per se. As you can see, there are some real advantages to GMOs, but in SOME cases the GMO may have certain undesired health consequences (which aren't so obvious). However, this certainly should be evaluated on a GMO-to-GMO basis - the great potential of the science should not be defeated by fear-mongering yahoos without a solid basis in the science. Yes caution is warranted, but the more you understand something the less you fear it and the more focused your concerns can be. Give me a fat bowl of golden rice, please.
