after biopsy of prostate and bladder I keep a urinal bottle next to my bed for night time.....
My urine looks normal...But I have noticed small ,shreds of white strands swirling around.. I asked a friend about this and he said it maybe a urine infection, also told my doctor..But he just looked at me stupid......
Hi Terry,
I am referring this question over to one of the resident experts here at Health Central. Perhaps they have an idea of what you should ask your doctor. The best thing to do if you have a question like this and your doctor appears to ignore it, is to bring a sample in for your doctor to see. It would be hard to ignore you if the doctor can actually see what you are looking at.
There are many things this could be, none of them pleasant. Pinworms come to mind although that would be more in respect to a woman than a man. Could be something like a scum on the top of the urine. Not sure how long you allow the bottle to sit before emptying. Only a doctor's eye and tests will determine for sure what it is.
Take care and stay in touch, let us know what you've found out!
