Every time we go to the hospital for a physical examination, a urine routine is checked. Therefore, some substances in urine are likely to indicate abnormalities in our body. Many people like to observe when urinating, and find that there is always foam in their urine. What's the matter? How long will normal urine foam disappear? Let's take a look together!
How long does normal urine foam disappear?
Generally speaking, if the foam is large or different in size, and the duration is short, it belongs to the normal foam. If there is a layer of tiny foam floating on the surface of urine and it does not disperse for a long time, it is likely to be proteinuria. If the foam in urine does not dissipate within five minutes, proteinuria and nephrosis may be considered, and a routine urine examination is required.
How is urine foam?
1. When there are liver and kidney diseases, the content of bilirubin or protein in urine increases, the surface tension of urine decreases, and more bubbles can be produced during urination;
2. Bladder diseases, such as cystitis, bladder cancer, or other urinary system infections, make the composition of urine easy to change and produce bubbles;
3. In diabetes, the urine sugar or ketone body content increases, the urine pH changes, and the urine surface tension decreases; The organic and inorganic substances in urine can also increase the tension of urine and produce foam, but this foam is generally large and disappears quickly. Diabetes patients are prone to foam urine because of the increase of blood sugar and the secondary increase of urine sugar.
4. When there are gas producing bacteria in the urinary tract, bubbles can be produced in the urine; Urinary system infection can cause the increase of foam in urine. Common conditions include urinary tract infections, cystitis, prostatitis, etc., most of which are accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination.
5. Long term separation of spouses and prolonged cessation of sexual activity; Frequent excitability can lead to an increase in mucus secretion from the urethral gland, a decrease in surface tension of urine, and the appearance of multiple bubbles in urine. In addition, when urinating urgently, the pressure of urination increases, the speed of urination increases, the surface tension of urine decreases, and an increase in bubbles can also be seen.
6. Urine bilirubin, the urine changes like soybean oil, yellow foam appears after oscillation and is not easy to disappear, which is common in obstructive jaundice and hepatocellular jaundice.
This is the encyclopedia about how long the normal urine foam disappears. In a word, if the urine foam dissipates automatically in a very short time, it still means that there is nothing wrong. Don't panic. If the foam does not dissipate for a long time, it may be a kidney disease. It is recommended to further check!
