What Causes Mucus Discharge With Only The First Urine In The Morning?

I am a 59 year old male. Recently in the morning when I first get up and urinate the first time, I have some mucous or tissue come out as soon as my urine stream starts. This only happens with the first urination in the morning. I also have some lower back pain which may or may not be associated with this. No other symptoms. Thanks!

Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
There are many reasons that cause mucus in urine:
-It can be normal discharge: Mucus is urine is a normal occurrence because it originates in the urethra and bladder membranes.
-Urinary tract infections:When bacteria enter any part of the urinary tract system, an infection can develop.
-Sexually transmitted diseases: Common STDs such as chlamydia and gonorrhea are usually associated with an increased mucus content in the urine. In chlamydia, discharge may appear whitish, while in gonorrhea, it is yellowish.
-Irritable bowel syndrome can lead to a greater release of mucus in urine and in the stool. If a person defecates and urinates at the same time, then the urine gets mixed with mucus.
Treatment depend on the cause.You should do a urinalysis to find the cause.
Some advices that I can give to you are:
-Stay hydrated
-avoid foods like gassy foods, raw vegetables, wheat, or dairy products.
-some causes of mucus in urine will require anti-inflammatory medications, which in turn can decrease the amount of mucus.
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
