Semen in urine may be mistaken as mucus because both have almost the same viscosity. Mucus can be clear like precum or turbid with infection due to high white cell content or pinkish in color if blood is present. If mucus is present without sex, i.e. precum & semen are ruled out , urethritis is possible but it is usually associated with dysuria. Benign clear urethral discharge (mucus) is not rare.

Good afternoon. Mucus is produced by cells lining some body cavities like the GI and urinary tract and can be found normaly in the urine. In excess it is clear and slimy
