What is the reason for excessive foam in urine?

If there is white foam in the urine, and a layer of tiny bubbles floats on the surface of the urine and does not dissipate for a long time, it is likely proteinuria. The appearance of proteinuria will cause some damage to the renal tubules and glomeruli, and cause fibrosis of the kidneys. White foam in the urine may also be caused by inflammation, such as prostatitis, urethritis, balanitis, etc. Diabetes may also cause white foam in the urine. In addition, excessive exercise or excessive consumption of meat and vegetables can lead to excessive metabolism of oxalate and phosphate, and the production of salt crystal urine can also cause it. It is best to go to the hospital to check the urine routine to see if there is any abnormality.

There are many reasons why men have foamy urination, most of which are caused by other diseases. Since the surface tension of urine is very low, urine contains some organic and inorganic substances. For example, in cases of liver and kidney diseases, the content of bilirubin or protein in urine increases, the surface tension of urine increases, and more bubbles can be produced during urination.

Bladder diseases are also important causes of foamy urine in men, such as cystitis and bladder cancer. In addition, long-term separation, long-term cessation of sexual intercourse, and frequent sexual excitement can also cause bubbles in urine due to increased mucus secretion from the bulbourethral glands and increased tension on the urine surface. In addition, when urinating urgently, the urination pressure increases, the urine speed increases, and the tension on the urine surface increases, which can also increase bubbles.

It is normal to have foam when urinating. However, if it happens for a long time, it is not normal. Since the surface tension of protein is low, when the protein content in urine is high, a lot of foam may appear on the surface of urine. It is common in liver and kidney diseases, bladder diseases, diabetes, etc.

Proteinuria is treated with tetracycline or erythromycin injections. Urinary tract infections can be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs, such as levofloxacin. You need to go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and take the drugs under the guidance of a doctor. Usually, pay attention to a light diet, eat less or no greasy food, and avoid seafood, mutton, alcohol and other irritants. Drink plenty of water, pay attention to rest, and keep the external genitalia clean and dry.
