Causes of foam in urine

In daily life, sometimes we doubt our physical condition. If we feel a little unwell, we think we are sick and start to get nervous, unable to eat or sleep. Just like when we find foam in our urine, we are afraid that we have some disease. In fact, we can first search for relevant information on the Internet and learn some scientific knowledge. Let us find out why there is foam in urine!

The formation of foam in urine is due to the high surface tension of the liquid. The higher the surface tension, the more foam is formed. In addition to containing the vast majority of water, human urine also contains a very small amount of foam. However, if the composition of urine changes, such as an increase in protein, mucus and organic matter, the surface tension can increase. Therefore, if there is a lot of foam in urine, it generally occurs in the following situations:

(1) There is a disease in the kidney or an increase in urethral secretions. The exact cause needs to be determined through further examination.

(2) If you stop having sex for a long time, often have nocturnal emission, or if you are frequently sexually excited, which increases the amount of mucus secreted by the bulbourethral glands, it is normal for foam to appear in these cases.

(3) Some people have gas-producing bacteria in their urinary tract, which can produce bubbles in their urine. These bubbles are different from foam. Excessive foam does not mean that there is a lack of elements, and the possibility of proteinuria is very small. Don't be nervous about foamy urine. Some people feel very nervous about the foamy urine, thinking that they are different from normal people and are afraid that they have some disease. In fact, it is normal to have foamy urine. However, a very small number of people may have foamy urine containing protein. Since protein has low surface tension, when the protein content in urine is high, a lot of foam may appear on the surface of urine. Generally speaking, if the foam is large or of different sizes and lasts for a short time, it is because some organic substances (glucose) and inorganic substances (mineral salts) in the urine make the urine more tense, which is normal foam. This kind of foamy urine does not necessarily mean that there is something wrong with the body, so there is no need to be nervous. However, if the bubbles are large and disappear quickly, you should be alert to whether it is diabetes.

The above is an introduction to the reasons why there is foam in urine. Many people will be worried when they see a lot of foam in their urine. They will think that they are sick and different from normal people. When such a similar situation occurs, you can first learn about it on the Internet or in relevant health books, find out the cause and then take corresponding measures for treatment.
