[Foam urine], because urine has foam, resembles beer, is nicknamed [beer urine].
It seems that it is not uncommon for urine to have foam. Many readers left messages asking:
Is it normal to have foam in urine? Does foam urine indicate kidney is not good?
Dr. Clove shares some knowledge about [beer urine] with everyone. If you pay more attention to it everyday, you may be able to find the clue of the disease as soon as possible.
Why is there foam in the urine?
Normal fresh urine should be transparent and yellowish liquid. Drink more water and the color will be lighter.
Usually, a small amount of foam will form when urinating, and the foam will dissipate quickly.
However, when the composition of urine changes, such as more organic substances such as protein and glucose, the surface tension of urine will increase, thus forming more bubbles that are not easy to dissipate.
This is what we call [foam urine] [beer urine].
Beer urine means?
Excessive intake of high protein and high sugar foods at one time, strenuous exercise, mixing semen or reproductive tract mucus, even cold, standing for a long time and the cleanliness of the toilet itself, etc., may cause changes in urine composition and foam urine.
This is usually called [transient proteinuria] or [functional proteinuria] and is a normal phenomenon.
This kind of foam generally varies in size and will dissipate quickly. It can disappear after rest and diet control. Don’t worry too much.
However, if it is found that foam urine lasts for a period of time and the foam does not disperse for a long time, it is necessary to pay attention to whether there is a problem with the kidney or urinary system.
Think about it, are there any other discomfort symptoms? For example, is there edema? Do you have frequent urination and urgent urination? Does urine give off a faint smell of rotten apples?
If there is a similar situation, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to do a urine routine, to confirm whether there is protein in urine, and to clarify the reason. Of course, some proteinuria patients can also have no symptoms.
How to deal with it correctly and how to prevent it?
Occasionally there is foam in urine, don’t be nervous. Pay attention to rest, ensure the amount of drinking water, and eat healthily.
For abnormal beer urine, especially when foam urine is accompanied by other symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency of urination, pain of urination, even edema, hypertension, etc., it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in time, confirm the disease, and then carry out corresponding treatment.
Urine routine can help detect whether urine contains protein, glucose, etc. It is usually a required examination item.
In terms of diet, it should be light and easy to digest, usually advocating a low protein diet and eating more fruits and vegetables in an appropriate amount. Because strenuous or long-term exercise may aggravate the symptoms of proteinuria, light and moderate exercise should also be given priority to during exercise.
Remember to ask the doctor, let the doctor according to the actual situation, give more targeted diet and exercise advice.
To sum up
Foam urine itself plays a more suggestive role.
If you want to know whether there is a problem with your body, you cannot judge it by naked eyes alone. You need to go to the hospital for urine analysis and related examinations to determine it.
For patients with chronic kidney disease, renal dysfunction can be found more accurately and in time than observing foam in urine, regular physical examination and paying attention to urine protein examination results.
