Brief Answer:
You need to get a routine microscopy of your urine done.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I would need some more information about the while stuff in your urine. I need to know whether these are present as small white flakes or is it turbidity that you are talking about. In any case, I would suggest you to get a routine microscopy and culture of your urine done. The whitish stuff could be deposits of epithelial cells or white blood cells or can be calcium deposits. This investigation needs to be done because often urinary tract infections often go undetected and you could be having one. I would also need to know whether you are drinking good amounts of fluid and whether your urinary output is reasonable. I would also need to know if you have any associated complaints. Let me know these and I would try to help you out with your problem.
