What Causes White Mucousy Tissues In The Urine?
I have white pieces in my urine and sometimes I have a long mucusy tissue in my urine that is stretchy, I am 19 yr old female and I had a urine analysis with everything else being fine but a slight increase in white blood cells and the culture showed no bacteria I have slight pressure in my lower abdomin with no other symptoms, what could this be?

Hi,
This indicates mild to moderate grade urinary infection (in which conditions culture many times show up negative) causing asymptomatic bacteriuria.
White pieces are actually tiny shaded epithelial cells from the wall of the urinary bladder and/or urethra, with certain yeast cells.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
