What does it mean when the mucus is high in urine routine tests?

When doing a routine urine test, if the mucus threads are high, you should pay attention to whether the urethra is irritated or affected by some serious problems, such as common Candida infection or nephritis. These disease problems may cause the mucus threads to be high during the examination. If it is indeed caused by an inflammatory problem, you should pay attention to scientific treatment and use some anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce the harm caused by these diseases to us.

1. Clinical significance

If the mucus threads are high, it may be due to urethral irritation, inflammation, candidal infection, or nephritis. However, your urine routine test is normal, and only this item in urine sediment is high. I suggest you to recheck, and the urine test must be midstream urine. If there are no symptoms, you can first use some anti-inflammatory and anti-fire medicine, such as norfloxacin or Qingkailing.

2. Symptoms

Mucus strings may appear in normal urine, especially in women's urine. But when present in large quantities, it indicates irritation or inflammation of the urethra.

3. Reasons

1. It may be caused by Candida infection. This result does not seem to be nephritis. Although there is occult blood, it is generally not used as a criterion for diagnosing disease in clinical practice. As long as the number of red blood cells under microscopic examination does not exceed 3, it is normal. Regarding puffy eyes in the morning, this may not necessarily be due to kidney problems. It may also be related to endocrine system, liver, heart, etc. It is recommended that you go to the gynecology department for treatment first. Pay attention to repeat urine routine examination and microscopic examination.

2. The results of urine mucus thread test in routine urine examination are high, which is common in inflammation. If the urine routine examination is accompanied by the presence of white blood cells, it can basically be diagnosed and active anti-inflammatory treatment is recommended. If you have prostatitis, there may be mucus threads in the terminal urine, so regular treatment is still necessary.
