What are the white particles in baby diaper wetters?

Patient's question:

I am 36 years old this year, and recently I have been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has also affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to work well. Could you please tell me what the white particles in infant diaper wetters are?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, normal urine contains many crystalline and non-crystalline substances. Your condition falls under the category of urine forming crystals over time, which is generally a normal phenomenon. However, clinically, it can be divided into physiological and pathological cases. Physiological crystals mostly come from the normal metabolism of food and body salts, producing various acidic byproducts that combine with ions such as calcium, magnesium, and ammonium to form various inorganic and organic salts, also known as metabolic salt crystals. These usually have no clinical significance.
