What is post micturation residue?
You may be thinking of post micturation residual urine. This is what it is called in medical terminology when someone is unable to completely empty their urinary bladder when they urinate. There can be urine still left in the bladder that can't be emptied for different reasons (prostate enlargement in men, bladder weakness from childbirth in women, etc.). The amount of "residual" (left over) urine in the bladder is measured to see how big the problem may be. If allowed to sit and not be emptied, this residual urine can cause chronic infections and other urinary system problems.
Measuring the retained urine can be done by using a tube (catheter) to drain the urine from the bladder and then measure the amount, or it can be done by using a nifty non-invasive hand-held ultrasonic bladder scanner that can measure urinary retention from the outside.
These measurements of the residual urine are also used when a person has needed a urinary catheter for a while during an illness, injury, or after surgery but now has had it removed, so that it can be checked to be sure that the bladder is fully functioning again and ready and able to empty itself. The catheter may need to be put back in place for a while if there is still too much "residual".
This is also called "Post-void residual urine". Voiding and micturating are words that both mean "urinating."
If the question is about a residue left in the bladder after urinating, then that could be referencing kidney or bladder stones, sludge in the bladder from an infection, or other matter left in the bladder that could not be eliminated or passed. But that is not usually referred to as "post micturation residue", more likely it would be called "debris" in the bladder or the actual name of the particular "residue/matter" such as bladder stones (cystoliths), or other medical terms for the specific condition.

Is it very uncomfortable to get an ultrasound with a full bladder?
Oh yes, trust me! You have to drink tons of water until your bladder is very, very full, then hold it in until the exam is over. Then the doc squirs some icecold gel just above your lower abdomen and pushes hard into your chock-full bladder. Some US require to hold in breath for a few seconds (and full bladder too)... Ultrasound with full bladder=Not fun!
Does holding your urine until you wet yourself hurt your bladder?
Yes: when you wet yourself for that reason, you have literally stretched your bladder to the point where nature is forced to take over and override your unreasonable efforts to hold back. Often, they are caused by the bullying and abusive behavior of others. But whatever the case, your body is defending itself. However, when you lose control, you do not completely void your bladder. So go and clean up in a lavatory and finish emptying your bladder there, even if your social embarrassment is preventing you from feeling the need. And don't force your body that far again!

This 'gel' could be pus, which indicates an infection, which means a quick trip to the doctor to get it diagnosed and treated, if necessary.
But . . . if you are male, I wonder how you know that the gel is coming from your bladder. Especially if you are in the 11 to 14 age bracket, it could mean that you are simply going through puberty - the transition from boy to man. The gel in this case would be 'Semen', which is the substance that can make a woman pregnant. It is most common to see this at night, assuming that you are going through puberty.
