Question 1

i'm getting worse dry skin, brittle hair, exhaustion white stringy stuff in urine last i smell.

Accepted Answer

Please: Please see your doctor asap for evaluation. You may have something very serious going on.

Question 2

male, 48, occasionally have white stringy floaters in urine. had recurring utis (2), fully resolved after 3 weeks cipro (ciprofloxacin). had normal cystoscopy. ideas?

Accepted Answer

?mucus: This may be mucus coming from somewhere in the genital-urinary tract. The cystoscopy showed a normal urinary bladder. For the sake of completeness perhaps a urine cytology exam and a kidney ultrasound can be done. Discuss this with your urologist to see if he/she agrees. I assume the scrotum, epididymus, and testicles have checked out ok.

Question 3

what is the white stringy stuff floating in urine ?

Accepted Answer

Mucin strands: They are essentially mucous threads in the urine and are very common. It doesn't reflect something wrong with your urine. But follow up with your physician, especially if you have any other symptoms.

Question 4

every time i pee in a cup i notice a white stringy stuff in my urine i would like to know what is that?

Accepted Answer

Mucous : It's likely mucous, but it should not normally be there. Presuming you're peeing in a cup for a urine test, ask your doctor what the results are. If you're not already, ask your doctor if referral to a urologist is appropriate. Hope this helps!

Question 5

i passed a few clumps of white, stringy "tissue" in my urine. should i be concerned? do i need to go to the doctor?

Accepted Answer

Get your urine test: All i can suggest is get your urine tested to see what the singy tissue is. Consult your doctor for this.

Question 6

hi, i've recently been put on medication because my blood pressure was dangerously high. i've noticed white stringy  bits in my urine. is this related?

Accepted Answer

Urine: White stringy bits are unlikely to be related to the blood pressure treatment unless perhaps you are passing congealed protein. Discuss with your doctor.

Question 7

stringy white mucose in urine and pain in the urinary tract?

Accepted Answer

Infection: These symptoms point towards an infection.  You need to see the Doctor and get examined and testing done, so the appropriate treatment can occur.  Best wishes.

Question 8

male, 47, just finished 3 weeks cipro (ciprofloxacin) after recurring utis. no other symptoms, but occasionally have white stringy particle(s) in urine. cause?

Accepted Answer

UTI: Recurrent UTI in a man needs a detailed urologic investigation for anatomic abnormalities or physiological or epidemiological features causing this.  At the same time your urine can be examined to determine what the material you describe is. Without seeing this it is impossible to know.  See a urologist. Good luck.

Question 9

small white stringy pieces in my urine, both peeing in a cup and in toilet. look like strings / ghosts. what are they?? urine color normal, no burn.

Accepted Answer

See answer: Probable mucus threads. In small amounts, often normal and sometimes more or less visible depending on the pH or concentration of the urine. May also be commonly seen with asymptomatic bacteriuria (bacterial colonization of urine) or contamination of urine with vaginal secretions especially if around the time of ovulation or with vaginal infection/irrigation. Urinalysis and urine culture helpful.

Question 10

i have white small stringy particles in urine. no symptoms but  scared something is wrong. did a cmp blood test and all was normal. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Urinalysis: A urine examination would have been more useful than a CMP. Do you have any symptoms? Could it be mucus from your genital tract rather than coming from the urinary bladder?
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
