I suggest that you have your urinalysis taken and a complete blood count also. The presence of parasites my be detected based on the increased levels of eosinophils in the blood (eosinophils are a type of white blood cells). You may also have a kidney, ureter and bladder ultrasound done. At this point, observing your subsequent urine and also making sure that the toilet bowl is clean prior to urination may be necessary.
Parasitic infections in the urinary as well as genital tracts are possible but they are not fairly common. Unless, you are immunocompromised, or with previous history of travel and exposure to someone with this condition, then a parasitic infection may not be likely.
Do you have any associated signs and symptoms like fever and abdominal pain?
