Particles in urine?

Posted , 2 users are following.

So this is kind of an odd one, I'm a 19 y/old male who suffers from psoriasis (treated with humira), ADHD, and Health Anxiety. Very recently I have been paying very close attention to my bathroom habits. To get right to the point I have started to notice particles in my urine. It happened one night two weeks ago there was a significant amount of sediment, white particles in my urine, and it kind of sent me into a panic. afterwards I started paying closer attention. It hasn't happened again since that night, but I still worry. There is nothing out of the ordinary from the perspective of standing and looking down at the bowl, but if I look more closely into the bowl and fix myself on it I see particles, very tiny almost like dandruff flakes, and they also need a decent amount light to notice with the naked eye. There is no foam, or pain during urination (there has been a tickling sensation, with no pain or burning, just an odd discomfort, when I go lately but I chalk that up to my health anxiety making me too fixated on my bodily process.) And urination is more frequent than usual, probably also due to me fixating on it and my general anxiety. What I really want to know is did I only have one isolated incidence of strange particles in my pee, or am I still doing it just not as noticeably? I already have a Doctors appointment on the 30th and plan to mention the incident, but I don't know if I should seek someone out sooner. Anyways thanks for any and all responses!

    I had that before I was dx'd with intersitial cystitis Men have it, too. Do you ever have an ache in your pelvis area?

    I used to have tiny white/silvery particles when I urinated. Scary.

    Oh, frequent urination is a big part of it, also,

    You might want to visit the Interstitial Cystitis Network. They have great forums and helpful people.

    Good luck
