Because of what can be noted like that?
Most often, this phenomenon indicates the presence of an inflammatory process in the urinary system. So, as a result of impaired permeability of glomeruli and tubules, which are located in the kidneys, the protein gets into the urine excreted from the body - it is determined visually, like small flakes.
At what diseases can the protein appear in the urine?
Having dealt with the reasons why white flakes form in the urine of women, we will consider the most common diseases in which this is noted.
- Cystitis - is the most common violation of the genitourinary system in women. In view of the fact that the urethra is short and close to the vagina, this disease quite often worries the girls. It is accompanied by pain when urinating, improving the urge, the appearance of a cloudy sediment in the urine and flakes.
- Pyelonephritis is an inflammation of the renal pelvis. Characterized by a rise in body temperature, deterioration in overall well-being, severe soreness with urination, back pain. There is a change in the transparency of urine, its color changes, the presence of flakes.
- Diseases of the organs of the reproductive system. Most often the appearance of white flakes in excreted urine is associated with such a violation as bacterial vaginosis and thrush, in which white discharge emerge from the vagina and can enter urine with an act of urination.
How to correctly determine the cause?
In order to pinpoint the cause of white flakes in the urine, a woman is prescribed a general urine test, a smear from the urethra, a smear from the vagina to the bioflora. It is these laboratory tests that make it possible to clarify the picture and prescribe the right treatment.
