Mucus on a urine microscopy report is usually a collection issue, not a diagnosis. The surrounding urinalysis findings, symptoms, and quality of the sample determine whether it needs follow-up.
- Mucus threads alone are commonly harmless, especially in a single clean-catch sample with no urinary symptoms.
- Pyuria threshold of more than 5 white cells per high-power field supports urinary tract inflammation but does not prove a bacterial UTI.
- Culture trigger is mucus plus burning, urgency, fever, flank pain, nitrites, or significant white cells—not mucus alone.
- Plaveiselcellen above roughly 10 per high-power field often indicate genital-skin contamination and make a urine result less reliable.
- Zichtbaar bloed with colicky side pain needs prompt assessment for a stone, even if mucus is also reported.
- Zwangerschap changes the threshold for follow-up because asymptomatic bacteriuria is usually screened with urine culture, not microscopy alone.
- Troebele urine can reflect crystals, concentrated urine, vaginal discharge, semen, or cells; it cannot diagnose infection by appearance.
- Herhaalmonster is sensible when mucus is the only unusual finding and collection was not a careful midstream clean-catch.
What mucus threads on urinalysis usually mean
Mucus threads in urine are usually strands of normal protective secretion or genital contamination, and an isolated result rarely signals kidney disease. The finding becomes meaningful when it appears with urinary symptoms, white cells, bacteria, blood, or protein.
Laboratories identify mucus as wispy, translucent strands seen under microscopy; many reports simply grade it as rare, few, moderate, or many rather than assigning a numeric reference range. Urine naturally contains a small amount of glycoprotein-rich material from the urinary tract, and vaginal or urethral secretions can add more during collection.
The report wording is less alarming than it sounds. As of August 26, 2026, there is no validated mucus-thread count that diagnoses a UTI, stone, cancer, or kidney failure; it is a contextual microscopic observation. For a broader map of the other items on a dipstick and microscope report, see our complete handleiding voor urineonderzoek.
In my clinical experience, a symptom-free adult with mucus marked “moderate,” 0–2 white cells per high-power field, negative nitrite, and no blood is usually best served by reassurance or one properly collected repeat sample. Dr. Thomas Klein often sees needless antibiotic anxiety arise because a laboratory flag is mistaken for a disease label.
Kantesti is an AI blood test interpretation platform that can place kidney-related blood markers, such as creatinine and eGFR, beside a urinalysis finding—but it cannot diagnose a UTI from mucus alone. A urine microscopy result needs the clinical story that came with it.
Why a lab flags it
Laboratory information systems flag mucus because it is visually present, not because the laboratory has established a dangerous cutoff. A flag therefore means “observed” rather than “abnormal disease marker,” much like an isolated trace finding can require no treatment.
Where mucus in a urine sample comes from
Mucus in urine can arise from the urethra, bladder lining, cervix or vagina, semen, or the outside genital skin during collection. Its source is often inferred from the rest of the microscopic pattern rather than from the strands themselves.
The bladder and urethra have a protective surface layer containing mucins, including uroplakin-associated material, that reduces friction and microbial attachment. Small quantities can shed into urine after dehydration, recent sexual activity, minor irritation, or simply because a concentrated first-morning specimen makes strands easier to see.
For people who menstruate or have vaginal discharge, leukocytes and mucus may enter the cup without coming from the bladder. More than 10 squamous epithelial cells per high-power field makes contamination more likely, although laboratories use different reporting thresholds. Our guide to epithelial cells in urine explains why this changes confidence in a result.
Semen can also create stringy material or cloudiness for several hours after ejaculation. That does not make the urine unsafe, but it can obscure microscopy; if culture is being considered, I generally advise collecting a new specimen at least 24 hours later when feasible.
Why sex and anatomy affect the report
A urine cup does not isolate the bladder from nearby tissue. This is why “mucus present” is reported more often in samples with external secretions, while a catheterized specimen is sometimes used when clinicians need a cleaner answer.
When mucus threads point toward a urinary tract infection
Mucus threads support a possible UTI only when they accompany symptoms and objective inflammatory findings, particularly pyuria, nitrite positivity, or a convincing culture. Mucus by itself is not a UTI test.
A symptomatic lower UTI commonly causes burning, urgency, frequency, suprapubic discomfort, and sometimes new urine odour. In a properly collected sample, more than 5 white blood cells per high-power field is often called pyuria; it supports urinary tract inflammation but can occur with stones, sexually transmitted infections, and contamination as well.
Nitrite is highly specific when positive but misses infections caused by organisms that do not reduce nitrate, and a negative nitrite result does not rule out a UTI. Leukocyte esterase detects white-cell enzyme activity and can be falsely positive when vaginal secretions contaminate the specimen; our explanation of leukocytenesterase-uitslagen behandelt die valkuilen.
The IDSA guideline advises against screening for or treating asymptomatic bacteriuria in healthy nonpregnant adults because antibiotics add harm without benefit (Nicolle et al., 2019). That principle is especially relevant to mucus: no burning, no fever, and no planned urologic procedure usually means no antibiotic simply because a microscopy field looked untidy.
When culture is the better test
Urine culture is more useful than repeat dipstick when symptoms persist, symptoms recur within 4 weeks, pregnancy is present, pyelonephritis is suspected, or prior antibiotics may have altered the result. Mixed bacterial growth commonly indicates collection contamination rather than a single urinary pathogen; see interpretatie van urinekweek.
Mucus, crystals, stones and mechanical irritation
Mucus with severe wave-like flank pain or blood in urine may occur with a urinary stone, but mucus neither confirms nor excludes a stone. Blood, crystals, pain pattern, imaging, and kidney function matter more.
A stone can scrape or obstruct the urinary lining, producing red cells, white cells, and additional mucus. The classic symptom is abrupt colicky pain radiating toward the groin, often with nausea; visible red or tea-coloured urine raises urgency. Read more about rode vlaggen bij bloed in de urine rather than assuming every pink sample is a simple infection.
Calcium oxalate crystals can appear in healthy people, particularly in concentrated acidic urine, so one crystal type does not prove an active stone. In a person with pain, recurrent stones, or persistent haematuria, clinicians may use ultrasound or low-dose non-contrast CT rather than relying on sediment alone. Our resource on calciumoxalaatkristallen details the limits of crystal reports.
An important exception is obstruction with infection: fever of 38.0°C or higher, flank pain, vomiting, and inability to pass urine warrants emergency assessment. The concern is not the mucus; it is an infected blocked urinary system, which can deteriorate quickly.
Irritation without a stone
Recent catheter use, bladder procedures, vigorous cycling, and pelvic radiation can irritate the lower tract and increase mucus or white cells. A clinician should interpret these results against timing, because a sample collected within 48 hours of instrumentation is not equivalent to a routine screening specimen.
Cloudy urine meaning: what appearance can and cannot tell you
Cloudy urine may be caused by concentrated salts, crystals, mucus, cells, genital discharge, or bacteria, so appearance alone cannot diagnose infection. Urine that is cloudy but painless and short-lived is commonly non-urgent.
Phosphate crystals can make alkaline urine look cloudy after it cools, while urate crystals can cloud acidic concentrated urine. A sample left at room temperature for more than 2 hours may become increasingly turbid as cells degrade and bacteria multiply, which is why fresh processing or refrigeration matters.
Cloudiness plus dysuria, urgency, and pyuria deserves testing; cloudiness after exercise or poor fluid intake often improves with ordinary hydration. Aim for urine that is pale yellow rather than forcing excessive water intake—very clear urine does not mean the kidneys are “flushing out” infection. Our detailed review of oorzaken van troebele urine separates visual clues from dependable tests.
Kantesti is een AI-bloedtestanalysator designed to interpret blood markers in clinical context; a high creatinine or reduced eGFR alongside urinary abnormalities may justify medical review, whereas cloudy urine alone does not establish impaired kidney filtration. A basic metabolic panel can add useful context when symptoms suggest dehydration or obstruction.
Odour is not a culture
Strong-smelling urine often reflects concentration, asparagus metabolites, B vitamins, or a container that sat too long. A new foul odour with fever or urinary symptoms is a reason to seek assessment, but smell is not a substitute for microscopy and culture.
Genital discharge and sexually transmitted infections
Urethral or vaginal discharge can look like mucus in urine, and new discharge with urinary burning needs sexual-health testing as well as a urine assessment. Routine urine culture may miss chlamydia and gonorrhoea.
Chlamydia and gonorrhoea can cause dysuria and sterile pyuria—white cells with no routine bacterial growth—particularly after a new sexual exposure. Nucleic acid amplification testing, often using first-catch urine rather than a midstream specimen, is the appropriate test because standard culture targets different organisms.
In people with a vagina, bacterial vaginosis, candidiasis, and cervical inflammation can add discharge to a midstream cup; a vaginal swab or examination may be more informative than repeating urine microscopy. In people with a penis, visible urethral discharge should not be dismissed as “mucus threads.” The practical distinction is discharge noticed outside urination versus strands reported only by the laboratory.
The 2021 CDC STI treatment guideline recommends NAAT-based testing at relevant anatomical sites according to exposure history, not symptoms alone (Workowski et al., 2021). If pelvic pain, testicular pain, fever, pregnancy, or possible assault is involved, seek same-day clinical advice rather than self-treating with leftover antibiotics.
Why antibiotics can confuse the picture
Taking even 1 or 2 antibiotic doses before a culture can suppress ordinary bacterial growth while urinary symptoms and white cells persist. Tell the clinician exactly which drug, dose, and last dose time were used; that detail changes how a negative culture is interpreted.
How to collect a urine sample that answers the question
A midstream clean-catch sample reduces mucus, squamous cells, and mixed bacterial growth better than collecting the first or final part of the stream. The technique is simple, but the first 2 seconds make a disproportionate difference.
Wash hands, separate genital skin or retract the foreskin if comfortable, clean according to the kit instructions, begin urinating into the toilet, then collect the middle portion without the cup touching skin. A 20–30 mL sample is usually ample; filling a large container to the brim does not improve the test.
Deliver the cup promptly, ideally within 1 hour; if delay is unavoidable, refrigerate it according to the laboratory's instructions and return it within 24 hours. Refrigeration slows bacterial growth but does not restore a sample that was already contaminated. This is particularly important when the request includes culture rather than dipstick alone.
Kantesti is een AI-aangedreven tool voor analyse van bloedtesten used across 127+ countries, and our clinician-reviewed workflows treat specimen quality as part of interpretation rather than a footnote. The same principle applies to any laboratory value: a technically poor sample can create a medically persuasive but misleading result. See our lab accuracy checklist for questions to ask before acting on an isolated flag.
Do not collect during these situations if you can wait
Avoid routine testing during heavy menstrual flow, immediately after intercourse, or after using vaginal creams unless the clinician specifically requests it. When testing cannot wait, tell the laboratory or clinician, because that context may explain mucus, red cells, or external cells.
How clinicians read mucus with the rest of urinalysis
The most useful urinalysis pattern combines symptoms with white cells, red cells, nitrite, leukocyte esterase, protein, glucose, specific gravity, and epithelial cells. Mucus is a minor supporting feature in that pattern.
A clean sample with mucus, 0–2 white cells per high-power field, negative nitrite, and no blood usually needs no treatment. Mucus with greater than 5 white cells per high-power field and positive leukocyte esterase raises the probability of inflammation; adding nitrite or a single-organism culture increases confidence that bacteria are responsible.
Protein needs its own pathway. Trace protein after fever, exercise, or concentrated urine may be temporary, but persistent protein should be quantified with an albumin-to-creatinine ratio rather than attributed to mucus. Our guide to eiwit in urine explains why dipstick protein and kidney risk are not interchangeable.
Een urinespecifieke dichtheid van 1.003 to 1.030 is common in adults, though reference intervals vary by laboratory. High specific gravity can concentrate mucus and create a more dramatic-looking sediment, while low specific gravity can lyse cells and make microscopy deceptively bland; our gids voor soortelijk gewicht shows how hydration affects interpretation.
The value of negative findings
Negative blood, protein, nitrite, and leukocyte esterase meaningfully lower concern in a person without symptoms, even if mucus is reported as moderate. No single negative test is perfect, but this cluster is more reassuring than a mucus grade is concerning.
When to repeat the test and when to request culture
Repeat a urine sample when mucus is isolated, squamous cells suggest contamination, or collection was rushed; request culture when symptoms are persistent, recurrent, severe, or high-risk. A repeat test is not “doing nothing”—it is often the most diagnostic next step.
For a nonpregnant adult with no symptoms and mucus as the only flag, a repeat clean-catch urinalysis within 1–2 weeks is reasonable if reassurance is needed; many clinicians would not repeat it at all. Do not treat a laboratory flag with antibiotics while waiting unless a prescriber identifies a clinical indication.
Culture before antibiotics is especially useful for fever, flank pain, pregnancy, immune suppression, kidney transplant, urinary catheter use, male urinary symptoms, or symptoms that return within 4 weeks. The guideline by Gupta et al. (2011) supports culture in suspected pyelonephritis and situations where resistance or an alternative diagnosis is more likely.
Culture counts must be read with collection quality. A single organism at 10^5 colony-forming units per mL has traditionally supported bacteriuria in clean midstream urine, but symptomatic patients can have clinically relevant lower counts; “mixed flora” usually prompts a new sample rather than a broad antibiotic. Compare the purposes of urinalyse en kweek before requesting either.
Pregnancy requires a different threshold
Pregnancy is an exception because asymptomatic bacteriuria can increase the risk of pyelonephritis and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Antenatal care commonly uses a screening culture early in pregnancy; mucus on microscopy cannot replace that culture.
When blood tests add useful kidney and infection context
Blood tests are useful when mucus in urine occurs with fever, flank pain, recurrent infections, swelling, reduced urine output, or persistent protein or blood. Creatinine and eGFR assess filtration, while a CBC and C-reactive protein may help judge systemic illness.
Een eGFR lager dan 60 mL/min/1,73 m² gedurende ten minste 3 maanden meets one criterion for chronic kidney disease, but a single lower result during dehydration or acute illness is not enough to make that diagnosis. Creatinine is influenced by muscle mass, diet, and some medicines, so trends and urine albumin are often more informative than one number.
A raised white blood cell count or CRP can support an inflammatory process but cannot identify the urinary tract as the source. In a febrile person with flank pain, clinicians may check creatinine before choosing imaging or medicines, especially if vomiting or obstruction could impair kidney function. Review stadia van chronische nierziekte volgen for the eGFR and albumin categories clinicians use.
Kantesti is een AI lab test interpretatieservice that highlights patterns across creatinine, eGFR, electrolytes, CBC, and inflammatory markers rather than treating a single mucus notation as a kidney diagnosis. Our methodology is subject to clinical validation oversight, but urgent symptoms still require direct medical care, not app-based interpretation.
A practical dehydration distinction
Dehydration can raise urine specific gravity and temporarily increase creatinine, particularly after diarrhoea, heat exposure, or intense exercise. Persistent low urine output, dizziness, or an eGFR decline after rehydration warrants clinician review rather than repeated home testing.
Urgent warning signs that should not wait for a repeat test
Seek same-day urgent assessment for mucus in urine with fever of 38.0°C or higher, flank pain, vomiting, visible blood, inability to urinate, confusion, or pregnancy-related urinary symptoms. These combinations matter because they can signal upper-tract infection, obstruction, or another acute condition.
Fever plus one-sided back or flank pain is more concerning for pyelonephritis than simple cystitis, particularly with shaking chills or vomiting. Delayed treatment can lead to dehydration, sepsis, or kidney stress; a normal-looking urine sample at home does not safely exclude it.
Visible blood should be evaluated even when a UTI seems plausible, especially after age 35, in smokers, or if bleeding continues once infection symptoms settle. The AUA microhaematuria guideline recommends risk-based evaluation after benign explanations are addressed (Barocas et al., 2020); persistent blood is not explained away by mucus.
Children, adults over 65, people with diabetes, people taking immune-suppressing medicines, and those with a solitary kidney deserve a lower threshold for assessment. Dr. Thomas Klein's rule in practice is simple: if symptoms are escalating over 6–12 hours, do not wait for a second cup to provide reassurance.
Call emergency services now for severe illness
Call emergency services for new confusion, fainting, severe weakness, blue or grey lips, severe shortness of breath, or inability to keep fluids down with urinary symptoms. These are systemic danger signs, not routine UTI symptoms.
Mucus in urine during pregnancy, childhood and later life
Pregnancy, children, and older adults need more careful interpretation because contamination is common but the consequences of missed infection can be greater. Symptoms and culture quality remain more valuable than the mucus grade in every age group.
During pregnancy, urinary frequency can be normal, which makes symptoms less specific; fever, dysuria, or back pain should prompt prompt obstetric or clinical assessment. Screening culture is typically obtained early in prenatal care, and repeat culture may be used after treatment depending on the clinician's plan.
In children, bag-collected urine is prone to contamination and should not usually be used alone to diagnose UTI with culture. A catheterized or carefully obtained clean-catch specimen may be required when a young child has fever without a clear source; mucus in a bag specimen is particularly non-specific.
In later life, bacteriuria and pyuria become more common without causing symptoms. New delirium alone should trigger a broad medical assessment for dehydration, medicines, pain, constipation, and infection sources rather than automatic UTI treatment; the same restraint recommended by Nicolle et al. (2019) applies.
Menstruation and hormone-related changes
Menstrual blood and cervical mucus can alter urinalysis for several days, and postmenopausal vaginal dryness can cause local irritation that resembles urinary burning. If results and symptoms do not line up, a clinician may assess genital causes rather than prescribing repeat UTI treatment.
Common mistakes after seeing mucus on a lab report
Do not start leftover antibiotics, cleanse internally, or try to “flush out” mucus with extreme water intake after one abnormal-looking urinalysis. These actions can obscure a culture, disrupt normal flora, or delay the right diagnosis.
Antibiotics taken without a culture can make a subsequent test falsely negative and may cause diarrhoea, rash, yeast symptoms, or resistance. If symptoms are mild but persistent, obtain the sample first whenever practical, then follow a clinician's treatment plan based on the total picture.
Cranberry products may modestly reduce recurrent uncomplicated UTI risk for some people, but they do not treat fever, flank pain, or a confirmed upper-tract infection. Avoid high-dose vitamin C as a self-treatment: it can alter some dipstick reactions and may raise oxalate burden in people prone to calcium oxalate stones.
Do not repeatedly inspect the toilet bowl for strands. Toilet paper fibres, cleaning residues, genital secretions, and water turbulence can mimic mucus; a laboratory sample collected in a sterile container is the appropriate place to assess it. For related colour changes, our urinekleurengids offers more reliable visual context.
The medication list matters
Phenazopyridine can turn urine orange and interfere with visual interpretation, while diuretics can concentrate or dilute urine depending on timing. Bring a list of prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, and supplements to the appointment, including doses in mg.
A practical follow-up plan for mucus threads in urine
Most people with mucus threads in urine and no symptoms need no treatment; a careful repeat urinalysis is reasonable if the sample was questionable. Symptoms or companion abnormalities determine whether culture, STI testing, imaging, or blood tests are appropriate.
Step 1: check for burning, urgency, fever, flank pain, visible blood, discharge, pregnancy, recent urinary procedures, and new sexual exposure. Step 2: read the report for white cells, nitrite, leukocyte esterase, red cells, protein, bacteria, and squamous cells—not just mucus.
Step 3: if you feel well and mucus is isolated, collect one midstream clean-catch sample within 1–2 weeks only if your clinician recommends confirmation. Step 4: if symptoms are present, ask whether urine culture should be collected before treatment and whether STI testing is relevant; recurrent episodes deserve a more deliberate review than a third empiric antibiotic.
Kantesti can organize relevant blood-result trends and questions for a medical appointment, while our Medische Adviesraad supports clinician-led safety standards. The right endpoint is not a perfectly “clean” microscopy report—it is an explanation that fits your symptoms, specimen quality, and risk factors.
Questions to bring to your appointment
Ask whether the specimen had squamous cells, whether culture grew one organism or mixed flora, and whether blood or protein persisted after symptoms resolved. Those 3 questions often produce more useful answers than asking how much mucus was seen.
Research context and the limits of mucus reporting
Mucus grading is not standardized across laboratories, which is why clinicians should avoid using “few,” “moderate,” or “many” as disease severity categories. Microscopy technique, specimen age, and reporting software can all change the wording.
Some laboratories manually inspect sediment after centrifuging approximately 10–15 mL of urine, while others use automated particle analysis with manual review of selected flags. That variation means a “moderate mucus” result from one laboratory may not reproduce exactly at another laboratory even when the person's health is unchanged.
A useful laboratory mindset is to ask whether a result is analytically real, clinically meaningful, and reproducible. That approach is familiar from blood testing too: our bloedbiomarker-gids explains why reference intervals and pre-analytic conditions determine whether a flagged marker deserves action.
Kantesti AI uses structured laboratory context to explain result patterns across major panels, but urine microscopy still requires source-specific clinical judgement. For readers interested in how we assess technical performance and clinical boundaries, our AI-technologiegids describes the safeguards behind our interpretive approach.
Wat een goed rapport duidelijk moet maken
A useful report identifies the specimen type, collection date, microscopic elements, and any culture organism and susceptibility results when culture is performed. If the report only says “mucus threads present,” it is incomplete for diagnosis but often entirely adequate for a low-risk incidental finding.
Veelgestelde vragen
Zijn slijmdraden in urine normaal?
Slijmdraden in urine zijn vaak normaal of te wijten aan contaminatie met genitale secreties, vooral als iemand geen urinewegsymptomen heeft. Een geïsoleerde bevinding met 0–2 witte bloedcellen per hoog-vermogensveld, negatieve nitriet, en geen bloed of eiwit is meestal een laag risico. Laboratoria gebruiken geen gevalideerd aantal slijmdraden om UTI of nierziekte te diagnosticeren. Een herhaalde midstream clean-catch sample is redelijk als de oorspronkelijke afname gehaast of zichtbaar gecontamineerd was.
Betekenen slijmdraden in urine dat ik een urineweginfectie heb?
Slijmdraden in urine betekenen op zichzelf geen urineweginfectie (UTI). Een UTI wordt waarschijnlijker wanneer branderigheid, aandrang, frequentie, koorts of suprapubische pijn optreedt met meer dan 5 witte bloedcellen per hoog-vermogensveld, positieve leukocyt-esterase, nitriet, of een positieve kweek. Een negatieve nitriet sluit een UTI niet volledig uit omdat niet alle bacteriën nitriet produceren. Kweek is meestal informatiever dan slijmgradatie wanneer symptomen aanhouden of terugkeren.
Kan uitdroging slijm in urine veroorzaken?
Uitdroging kan slijm makkelijker zichtbaar maken omdat geconcentreerde urine minder water bevat rond normale afscheidingen en sediment. Een hoge urine-specifieke zwaartekracht, vaak rond 1.025–1.030, kan dit effect vergezellen, hoewel het op zichzelf geen uitdroging bewijst. Normale rehydratatie en het herhalen van een correct verzameld monster kunnen de bevinding verduidelijken. Extreme waterinname is onnodig en kan eigen elektrolytrisico's met zich meebrengen.
Wat betekenen slijm en witte bloedcellen in de urine?
Slijm plus witte bloedcellen in urine wijst op ontsteking van de urinewegen of genitaliën, maar bewijst geen bacteriële infectie. Meer dan 5 witte cellen per hoogvermogenveld kunnen voorkomen bij urineweginfecties, stenen, seksueel overdraagbare aandoeningen, vaginale contaminatie of recente instrumentatie van de urinewegen. Symptomen, nitriet, epitheelcellen en kweekresultaten bepalen de volgende stap. Koorts van 38,0°C of hoger met pijn in de flank vereist dringende beoordeling.
Kan vaginale afscheiding slijm veroorzaken in een urinetest?
Vaginale afscheiding kan in een midstream-urinekweek terechtkomen en veroorzaakt bij microscopie vaak slijm, plaveiselcelepitheelcellen en soms witte bloedcellen. Meer dan 10 plaveiselcellen per hoog-vermogen veld maakt contaminatie vaker waarschijnlijk, hoewel laboratoria hierin variëren in hun rapportage. Een zorgvuldige schoon-gevangen monster dat buiten de zware menstruatie wordt verzameld, kan dit probleem verminderen. Als afscheiding, jeuk, geur of bekkenpijn aanwezig is, kan een vaginale beoordeling of uitstrijkje nuttiger zijn dan herhaalde urinecultures.
Wanneer moet ik me zorgen maken over slijmdraden en bloed in de urine?
Mucus threads with visible blood in urine should be assessed promptly, especially when blood persists, there is flank pain, clots, fever, or trouble passing urine. A stone, UTI, injury, kidney disease, or less commonly a urinary-tract growth can cause blood; mucus does not identify which cause is present. The AUA recommends risk-based evaluation for persistent microscopic haematuria after temporary causes are addressed. Emergency assessment is appropriate for fever, vomiting, severe pain, or urinary retention.
