Brief Answer: It is due to stagnant urine. Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have prolapse of the bladder and has noticed sediment in your urine. In prolapse bladder is not emptied completely and sufficient quantity of urine remains in the bladder (Residual Urine) and this stagnant urine is the reason for sedimentation . Since you do not have symptoms of UTI you need not worry at all.and make a habit to pass urine at frequent intervals so that your bladder is empty .This will avoid getting UTI. The redness of the vagina and itching could be due to hormonal deficiency which is common at the post menopausal age. Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions ,I shall be happy to help you Thanks and Regards. Dr.Patil.

Brief Answer: Emptying the bladder can avoid sedimenttion. Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for follow up. Sedimentation of the urine can be avoided only by emptying the bladder completely. You have to press prolapsed bladder upwards and inside manually while urinating. This will help to empty bladder completely . Drinking more water will help to keep urine dilute. Thanks and Regards.
