What Causes Small Red Thread Like Particles In Urine?
I saw a small red thread like worm from my urine yesterday for the first time. I saw a smaller one today once in the entire day. What can be the probable reason for the same. There is no pain, nothing and every other thing seems OK. Please help, I am too much worried. What can be the probable cause and how can it be cured. Is it a very serious thing?
