What causes foam in women's urine?

Perhaps many girls will find that there is such a situation, that is, there is foam in the urine. There are many reasons for this situation. It may be a disease in the human kidney that causes increased secretions in the urine, it may be nocturnal emission, it may be due to some other diseases, etc. In any case, people need to pay special attention to it. Here I will introduce why there is foam in women's urine.

If there is a lot of foam in the urine, it usually indicates the following: (1) There is a lesion in the kidney or increased secretions in the urethra. The exact cause needs to be determined through further examination. (2) If sexual intercourse has been stopped for a long time, nocturnal emission often occurs, or frequent sexual excitement causes increased mucus secretion from the bulbourethral glands, it is normal for increased foam to occur in this case. (3) Some people have gas-producing bacteria in their urinary tract, which can produce bubbles in the urine. These bubbles are different from foam.

Normal urine contains various nitrogenous substances and minerals, and its concentration varies with the amount of water a person drinks. Therefore, boys are more likely to have bubbles when they urinate while standing; people who drink less water have higher urine concentration and are more likely to have bubbles; the first urine in the morning is also more likely to have bubbles. So, bubbles in urine can be normal. However, some medical conditions can increase the concentration of urine and cause more bubbles in the urine. For example: when there is a problem with kidney function, the urine protein increases; when there is a biliary tract disease or hemolytic disease, the bilirubin in the urine increases; when diabetes is not well controlled, the urine sugar increases; when there is a urinary tract infection, the white blood cells in the urine increase; these may increase the concentration of urine, there will be more bubbles, and the bubbles will exist longer.

Guidance: In your case, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up to see if there is any problem and do not delay treatment.

According to general clinical experience, the most likely reason for foamy urine is the presence of protein in the urine. Generally, if there is foam similar to laundry detergent after urination and the foam persists for a long time without disappearing, it can be preliminarily determined that there is protein in the urine. The main reason for protein in the urine is generally kidney problems. Both acute nephritis and chronic nephritis can cause this situation. Judging from your age, the possibility of chronic disease cannot be ruled out. Because this type of disease can be divided into different subtypes, and the treatment methods are not the same, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for treatment this morning.
