Im a 48 yr old female in menopause

Answered by Dr. Rahul Tawde (12 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Possible urinary tract/vaginal infection;further data acquired...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You are reporting to have grey tissue in urine, At this point, I need to know:
- the quantity of grey tissue?
- for how long have you noticed it?
- any unusual odor from your genitalia?
- if you have noticed: itching? or other other local issues?

Can you provide a photo of the grey tissue in your urine?
Have you had any urine analysis? vagina swab testing? recently? If yes, can you provide the reports?

From what you are describing, it is indicative for possible infection. Urine analysis and vaginal swab testing is advised to rule it out.

Looking forward to have the requested data in!
