Not necessarily: It depends on the stimulant and other factors like age and condition of kidneys Having the mucous probably is not a sign of major damage but it is wise to always drink a lot of fluids and minimize the use of stimulants Please drink sufficient water in order to prevent damage in the future

It could mean: dehydration. I would discuss this with your doctor. Please stay hydrated, even if you have to force yourself to drink. A simple blood test could be done to see if your kidneys are functioning well or if there is anything else wrong. Again, see your doctor for a detailed history and exam. Best of luck!

No but: It may be a sign of a urethral infection. Although usually accompanied b y pain it is not always painful when one has urethritis. Have the material examined by your doctor who can determine whether you should be treated for infection.
