Hello,

The presence of black specks in urine is not normal at all. So please get a routine and microscopic examination of urine done. Then based on the report one can decide whether there is further medication needed or if there UTI. Also, drink enough water. Do get the urine tested.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
