i understand your concern
The urinal tract of any human being is basically filled with mucus that might appear as secretions, crystals or threads.The mucus threads in urine appear as small ribbons that are not visible to eyes. If the amounts increases then this means there is some underlying infection in any part of the urinary tract.
The presence of pus cells and bacteria in the urine sample confirm the presence of a urinary tract infection
i recommend that you consult your doctor soon for the accurate diagnosis of UTI as well as treatment of the same.
