White mucous urine

Introduction When white mucus-like urine is often discharged, it may be a symptom of prostatitis, non-gonococcal urethritis or gonorrhea. It should be treated as soon as possible, otherwise it will be transmitted to the spouse, causing inflammation of the reproductive organs.

Cause

Because the male urethra is the common outlet channel for semen discharge and urine flow, it is normal for adult males to occasionally discharge white mucus-like urine from the urethra without any concern. But when white mucus urine is often discharged:

(1) Precipitate precipitation, phosphate and carbonate precipitation.

(2) urinary tract infection: mainly related to urinary tract bacterial reproduction, pyuria and leukocytes. The urine is milky white.

(3) chyluria: white chyle-like urine, seen in filariasis or other causes of peri-lymphatic obstruction.

(4) Male prostate fluid overflow, such as: prostatitis, prostate discharge and so on.

In clinical patients who see white urine, we must first see whether there is a history of urinary tract infection or unclean sexual intercourse; second, we must carry out laboratory tests for urine routine, blood routine, renal function, urethral secretion smear and culture to remove Cocci, Candida and other bacterial infections, identify urinary tract infections, prostatitis and other diseases; three if necessary, carry out laboratory tests for filariasis to identify filariasis; if necessary, then check urinary ultrasound to clear white urine The cause and severity of the disease provide the basis for further treatment.

Differential diagnosis

First, yellow brown urine: may be bilirubin urine or urinary bile urine. Bilirubinuria is often blocked by biliary inflammation, tumors or stones in the liver or outside the liver, causing bilirubin sodium to enter the bloodstream. When the bilirubin sodium in the blood exceeds a certain amount, bilirubinuria occurs. Urinary urinary urinary urinary urinary urinary urinary tract is often caused by liver damage, which causes an increase in intestinal absorption of urinary bile. Sometimes it is a patient with hemolytic anemia. After a large number of red blood cells are destroyed, a large amount of urinary bile is absorbed into the portal vein through the intestinal wall. Since the liver cannot turn excessive urinary bile into bilirubin, urinary bile urine occurs.

Second, brown urine: severe burns, hemolytic anemia, transfusion of blood type or acute nephritis, acute jaundice hepatitis, kidney crushing and other patients, may discharge urine like the color of soy sauce. Some people, after eating broad beans, discharge brown urine, accompanied by dizziness, nausea or yellowing of the eyes, medically known as patients with faba bean disease.

Third, milky white urine: the most common is chyluria caused by filariasis, especially after drinking milk or high-fat diet. However, if the milky white urine is accompanied by abnormal urination, fever, and low back pain, it should be suspected to be a serious urinary tract infection, such as pyelonephritis, cystitis, urethritis or kidney tuberculosis, which makes the urine appear milky white.

Fourth, black urine: seen in people who have been mistaken for phenol poisoning in Su children. Because phenol is partially oxidized into hydroquinone and catechin in the human body, it is discharged from the urine, and the urine is left for a while to become black urine. In patients with melanoma, the melanin production in the blood is reduced to melanin by the liver, and the melanin excreted from the urine is oxidized to become melanin. After standing for a while, the urine turns black.

5. Green urine: When a large amount of anti-inflammatory drugs or Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the urine is produced, green urine will be discharged.

In addition, the color of normal urine may also be affected by certain foods and drugs. Such as eating a lot of carrots, taking vitamin B when the urine is bright yellow; taking furazolidone (), rhubarb, urine is dark yellow or brown; triamterene can make the urine appear light blue; methylene blue (beauty Blue) can make the urine blue-green; after injection of phenol red, the alkaline urine can be pink. Therefore, if you find abnormal color in your urine, don't be nervous first. Think about whether you are taking special medicines or foods recently. After you stop using the above items, check whether the urine color returns to normal. We recommend that urine color abnormalities should be checked by urine, and detailed examinations should be performed according to the urology.
