bladder or kidney problem

I've had a stringy white mucus in my urine. I have also had dull aching pain on one side of my back, usually worse in the morning. I've had a burning sensation on the tip of the penis. I have felt the urge to urinate often but when I do urinate very little urine will come out. I've recently had a UTI. I'm very concerned. I'd like to know what may be causing this.

Go to a doctor! If your Insurance is an HMO, you may need to go to your PCP and get a referral to a urologist.

Good lord, Man! If I had mucus dripping out of my urethra, I'd be going to the ER, damn the cost.  GO!

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Mucus threads in urine can be due to infection. It can be bladder debris. Parasitic infections like schistosomiasis and filariasis can result in worms in urine which appear as fleshy substances. Infections like trichomoniasis can produce mucus threads in urine. Fungal infections like candidiasis too cause fleshy substance in urine. Bladder cancer, polyps and stones are other reasons.
It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Do consult an urologist for this. Collect the urine sample with fleshy substance in it and get it examined at a lab.  Take care!
