Foamy urine is a common symptom that can be caused by a variety of factors. In some cases, foamy urine may be normal and not a cause for concern. However, in other cases, it may be a sign of an underlying health condition.

One of the most common causes of foamy urine is dehydration. When you are dehydrated, your urine becomes more concentrated, which can cause it to appear foamy. Other common causes of foamy urine include:
- Proteinuria: When there is an excess of protein in the urine, it can cause it to become foamy. Proteinuria is a common symptom of kidney disease and can be an indicator of other health conditions.
- Urinary tract infection (UTI): A UTI can cause the urine to become cloudy and foamy due to the presence of bacteria and pus.
- Kidney disease: Foamy urine can be a symptom of kidney disease, which can cause proteinuria, hematuria (blood in the urine), and other urinary symptoms.
- Medications: Certain medications, such as diuretics, can cause the urine to become foamy.
- Pregnancy: Foamy urine can be a normal symptom of pregnancy, especially in the third trimester.
If you are experiencing foamy urine, it is important to speak with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment./SHARE THIS
