Hello,

Sometimes urine may show black worms as you are describing if your wife is infected by parasite infection of the urinary tract. Dark color of urine and strong odor could also be due to this infection.

I would advise you to send her urine for laboratory analysis for diagnosis of parasite infection. You can consult a urologist after the test results come or reach us again for further advise.

I hope this answer helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Let me know if you need further answers.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
