What Causes Mucus Threads In Urine?
Question: 43 yr old caucasian male
Very good health and physical condition, as per my Dr.s comments at my annual physicals, 5'6", 130 lbs.
4 days ago, while urinating, sensed a "tangible" object pass thru urethra mid stream...no pain or discomfort whatsoever before, during or after.
Material was neutral buoyancy in toilet, approx. 1" square, translucent white....near mucous texture when palpated......am I dying?

Brief Answer:
Get a check-up done.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, I can understand your concern.
Passing mucous material in urine isn't fatal. You need to see an Urologist and get tested.
Such mucous material is found in people with urinary infections (UTI),stones, smegma,etc.
Do the following tests to be sure :
1. urine routine and culture.
2. blood routine, creatinine, RBS,LFT,and platelets.
3. ultrasound scan-KUB.
These reports will give an idea about what you saw.
You may send the reports here for an expert opinion.
