Change in urine: One can have mucus secreted by the urethra which can be expelled through contraction of the urethra during urination. If you are a woman, sometimes vaginal discharge comes out during urination making the urine look white not clear.

Not abnormal: Likely prostate secretions entered your urine stream and caused the color change. If this recurs or happens consistently a urology consult may be needed but not as a one time occurrence.

White urine: Anon male in Green Bay, white urine like you're describing sounds like one of two things. It could be air bubbles in your urine which occurs sometimes when people drink a lot of carbonated beverages. Or, it could be mucus which indicates a urinary tract infection. You could watch to see if it goes away on it's own or if it gets worse, and if it does worsen go see your doctor.
