Mel1981 11 Posted February 26, 2021 Does anyone else get a slight burn at the beginning of urination every once in a while? Like just as it comes out but then it goes away during the rest of it? I feel like this happens more when I've had coffee. I asked my doctor and he said it's concentrated urine. He described it like a chemical burn feel but of course only slight. He didn't seem concerned at all. It seems if I drink a lot of water it isn't there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MARC 431 Posted February 27, 2021 I get the same thing myself sometimes. I have actually had some burning through more then just the beginning of when I pee and I checked out OK. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you ever see something in the toilet when you urinate rather at the bottom or floating? We've had some stuff build up under the lip of our toilet that's darker colored over time and I think some might have come loose and it kind of freaked me out that it came out of me. I just feel like I'm spiraling into a bladder cancer worry nightmare. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wouldn't be from a person. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Ironman. that's what I had wondered since we have well water. also, when I've gone in a jar in the past for like stones and stuff like that to try to catch them I've noticed little tiny white flakes in the urine. I figured it must be protein or something like that. Have you ever had such a thing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My doctor basically told me the same thing. I made a mistake a few days ago and typed black specks into Google and of course bladder cancer shows up even though it was probably stuff from inside my toilet. I also know that Google has certain algorithms and will bring up stuff that isn't necessarily true for a certain situation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I saw my doctor today and asked him about the little white flaky things and he didn't seem concerned and did a urine test. It came back normal so now just waiting on microscopic.
