Last few times my child has been on potty for a wee there has been these weird bits in the wee (see pic) she seems well and said nothing hurts when I asked. Any idea what they could be?

I would call the GP and speak with them - I've never seen anything like that before. Maybe she has a UTI? Call them today, or 111?

That doesn't look right. Definitely try and collect some.

I've called the GP and someone will call me before end of tomorrow. Thought I'd ask on here in the meantime. I'll try and collect some next time she goes. Its very strange as it doesn't seem cloudy like you would think if it was infection

Have you cleaned the potty first? Are you sure it's not bits of dust on the potty collecting in the urine?
If you've ruled that out, definitely call the GP.

Hi, just wondering if you found out what this was? My daughter seems to have something similar

Luciferlooloo3 · 12/08/2023 18:47

Did you find out what it was? Xx

I’m also jumping on the band wagon and wonder if you got any answers? My little girl is going through something similar also and I won’t be able to find out results until Monday I can’t stop worrying

It looks like sediment in the urine. Definitely show the picture to a GP, to make sure it's ok.
The only reason I know about sediment is that when my DM was dying she had a catheter bag with a lot of this at the bottom. I asked my DSis (she's a nurse) if it was normal - she said yes, and told me what it was.

Hey. Did anyone get a result for these bits in the urine. My 16 month old boy just started getting it today.

Jumping on this old thread but can see people have commented recently. My child has black specs frequently in urine, did anyone get to the bottom of it? Thanks
