Is White Substances In Urine A Cause Of Bladder Infection?

I am a 35 year female, healthy. the past 3 years Ive been getting string like white substances every time I urinate. It is not painful. Ive gotten a bladder infection every 6 months for the past 3 years. What could be the cause? How do I get rid of the white substance in my urine?

Hi,welcome to healthcare magic forum.
Since you are healthy,and this issue is there for 3 years,it is unlikely to have a serious underlying cause(I guess you have no hypertension/edema on legs/red colored urine/increase or decreased urine output).Any how,you can do a urine routine examination.Depending on the result,you may need some blood tests like complete blood count/renal function test.
The first thing to be sure before going for these investigations is that,the substances are not coming from your vagina,and get mixed up with urine.
I hope you will find this information useful.Thank you.
