What is the reason for foam in men’s urine?

Men can easily observe the color, nature, whether the urine is bifurcated, whether the urine is foamy, etc. when they urinate. What is going on when our male friends find that their urine is foamy? Let's take a look together. The various problems that men have with urination may be caused by the following reasons.

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.

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.

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.

5. Urination too quickly will also increase foam

When urinating urgently, the urination pressure increases, the urination rate increases, the tension on the urine surface increases, and more bubbles may be seen.

6. Urine Concentration

In cases of drinking too little water, sweating too much, diarrhea, etc., the body's lack of water causes the urine to become concentrated, resulting in higher concentrations of protein and other components in the urine, which can easily lead to increased foam in the urine.

It can be seen that when your urine has foam, it is not necessarily a pathological manifestation, and there is no need to be too anxious. It may be caused by urinating more urgently and faster. Urinary problems are closely related to our kidneys and urethra. It is recommended to see a doctor if the phenomenon of frequent foamy urine occurs.
