Drink water, little urine, foam?

summary

Sometimes, there are many bubbles in human urine, which may be related to drinking water. But drinking less water is not the only reason for urine foam. There are many factors causing urine foam, so we need to consider comprehensively.

Drink water, little urine, foam?

The formation of foam in urine is due to the high surface tension of the liquid. The higher the surface tension, the more foam will form. Human urine consists of only a small amount of foam, except for most of the water. But if changes in the urine composition, such as protein, sugar, mucus and organic matter increase, there will be a bubble. The urine bubble of normal people is that after the urine is gone, the foam will disappear immediately. It's normal to disappear in a minute or so. After three minutes, the urine bubble began to disappear, which is abnormal. Diabetes patients will have this phenomenon, the bubble disappeared slowly, even high blood sugar, the bubble will not disappear.

When a normal healthy person urinating, the urine will impact the urinal to produce foam, which will disappear within 20-30 seconds. The increase of protein, mucus and organic substances in urine can increase the surface tension of urine foam, and make the urine foam more and more durable. Combined with your situation, it is recommended that the Department of Nephrology do 24-hour urine microalbumin determination (urinary albumin excretion rate).

If you have been working for a long time or have a fever recently, you need not be nervous. In this case, it is normal to have a bubble. If you are not at ease, you can go to the urology department of the hospital, check a urine routine, you can prove whether there is abnormal urination. And recently, we should have a light diet and eat less high protein food.

matters needing attention

For most people, it is normal to have bubbles when urinating. Under normal circumstances, the urine contains some organic substances and inorganic substances, so that the tension of the urine is strong and there are some bubbles. Therefore, the emergence of foam urine does not necessarily indicate that the body is out of order. Conversely, proteinuria usually produces foam urine. And the characteristic of this kind of foam urine is often a small foam floating on the surface of the urine, which will not disappear for a long time. The excretion of organic matter (glucose) and inorganic substance (mineral salt) in the urine is larger and soon disappears.
