If your urine appears foamy, it might be due to it hitting the toilet with enough force to agitate the water. This can also be caused by toilet chemicals or health issues, including conditions affecting the bladder or kidneys.....CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL ARTICLE>>>

Foamy urine might occur if a full bladder releases urine forcefully enough to disturb the toilet water. However, persistent or worsening foaminess can indicate underlying health issues that require medical attention.
Occasional foamy urine is usually due to rapid urination. If it occurs frequently or worsens, it may signal a medical condition. Look for these additional symptoms:
The primary cause is the speed of urination, which can create temporary foam. Dehydration can also concentrate urine, causing foaminess.
Foamy urine may indicate excess protein (albumin) in the urine due to kidney damage, known as proteinuria, a sign of chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease. Other causes include:
Factors increasing the likelihood of foamy urine include:
Doctors diagnose the cause of foamy urine through urine tests measuring protein levels, specifically the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR). An elevated UACR may indicate kidney disease. If retrograde ejaculation is suspected, sperm presence in urine is checked.
Treatments vary by cause:
Foamy urine isn’t usually a concern if it’s infrequent. Persistent foamy urine could indicate late-stage kidney disease, necessitating prompt treatment. In men, it might also suggest retrograde ejaculation or be a side effect of medication. Drinking more water often alleviates the issue…CONTINUE READING>>
