What causes painful and foamy urination in men?

Normal fresh urine for men is transparent or amber. If a man's urine becomes darker or has foam, it is abnormal. I hope that after reading the following introduction, men will pay more attention to foamy urine. So what is the reason for foamy urine in men?

What causes men to have foamy urine?

1. Prostatitis

Prostatitis refers to acute or chronic inflammation caused by specific or non-specific infection of the prostate, which can cause systemic or local symptoms. Foamy urine may be caused by prostatitis. If a man has prostatitis, his urine may carry prostatic fluid, which will cause oil droplets on the surface of the urine, resulting in increased foam in the urine.

In addition to foamy urine, other common symptoms of prostatitis include: urinary urgency and pain, burning sensation in the urethra, dribbling urination, occasional difficulty urinating, thin or interrupted urine flow

2. Urinary tract infections, such as urethritis, can also cause foamy urine

When you have urethritis, the urinary tract is infected with gas-producing bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Aerobacterium oxytoca. When these gas-producing bacteria cause urinary tract infection, they can ferment substances such as glucose in the urine, resulting in foamy urine.

Urethritis also has the following common symptoms: frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, and discomfort during urination. Patients with acute inflammation often have obvious signs of urinary tract irritation, but in patients with chronic urinary tract infection, the symptoms of urinary tract irritation are usually mild, such as mild frequent urination, urgent urination, or discomfort during urination.

3. Bladder diseases, such as cystitis

When men suffer from cystitis, foam will be produced due to changes in the composition of their urine.

4. Too much time without sex

Couples who have been separated for a long time and have stopped having sex for too long; those who are frequently sexually excited will have foam in the urine due to increased mucus secretion from the bulbourethral glands and increased tension on the urine surface.

If male friends find that there is foam in their urine, they need to go to a specialized andrology hospital for examination in time. The editor reminds you that foam in men's urine may be caused by some diseases, so for the sake of future normal health and family happiness, timely examination and treatment are required. The editor sincerely hopes that you will recover your health soon.
