Brief Answer:
Probably concentrate urine sediments!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this finding and all the inconveniences this has caused you. There is nothing to worry about as this is as a result of highly concentrated urines and as such the reasons for the long intervals between the urine passage. Be relaxed and monitor only but this requires no immediate medical intervention. Also, if he drinks, endeavor to increase the amount of fluid intake daily.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
