Brief Answer:
Nothing to be worried about.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query ,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have noticed tiny white particles in urine .

In absence of any urinary symptoms these small particles are termed as Muck and they are due to shading off of Epithelial lining of bladder mucosa which is common due to irritation of bladder mucosa due to mild inflammation .

Please get your routine urine test and urine culture done to rule out active infection.

Take prophylactic antibiotic like Norfloxacin along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily for 5 days .

Get the prescription of medicines from your family Physician.

Ensure to drink more water .

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions ,I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
