    Question

    I have these brown like circular stuff in my urine when i urinate. Also, i notice some blood after i wiped. (sorry i know this is pretty gross). I am sexually active. Is that normal? thanks

    Answer

    Sometimes there can be some sediment (or sandy-looking particles in the urine) which can be normal. However, the best way to check for a urine infection or some other type of infection (since you noticed some blood with wiping) is to see a medical professional. Most likely he or she can do a simple urine test to check for a urine infection. You also might need a brief exam depending on your other symptoms.
