(Toddler wee picture) UTI? Threadworm?

TibbyMoves · 09/12/2025 13:51

Have contacted gp about this photo (TMI - urine photo) (DC’s wee seems “dirty” with lots of stringy bits in it), alongside complaints of sore bum, irritated around private parts, and wee accidents despite being fully toilet trained with (usually) no accidents at all. I am panicking it could be threadworm! Is that even a thing in urine? Some cases reported at nursery. The thought of worms makes me queasy😟

It's not threadworms for sure , they are much shorter and wriggle a lot (unless that pic is a tiny blob)

All I can see is the reflection of the white toilet bowl and some black dots. What exactly are you referring to, can you mark it?

the image quality has gone down, it’s tiny grey strings which actually can’t be seen much on screen here. but I’m reassured by the first comment! Now seeing gp this afternoon. I think threadworms just panick me!!

I think it’s crystals . Can be dehydration or infection.
