What causes yellow and foamy urine?

I don’t know if you have ever paid attention to your urine problems in daily life. However, most people usually excrete in their own toilets. Apart from the color of the urine, other problems are rarely discovered. However, careful people find that their urine is not only yellow when urinating, but also contains a lot of bubbles. So what exactly causes yellow and foamy urine?

Under normal circumstances, urine is mostly transparent. It is light yellow when the urine volume is large, and yellowish brown when the urine volume is small. The first urine after getting up in the morning is darker in color. When your urine changes color, it may be due to drinking too little water, taking medication, or having a medical condition.

When consuming large amounts of food such as carrots and papaya, or Chinese medicine such as rhubarb and vitamins, the urine will turn dark yellow and will return to normal as long as you stop eating. For patients with acute fever or vomiting and diarrhea, the urine will also become concentrated and yellow because water will be excreted with sweat or feces. When the liver or gallbladder is diseased, bile will be discharged from the urethra, making the urine dark yellow; the urine of hepatitis patients will also appear the color of strong tea. In addition, when the urinary organs become purulent, yellow turbid pyuria will also be discharged. Once you find abnormal urine color, you should go to the hospital immediately for examination such as: routine urine test, urine culture, auxiliary examination of the liver, gallbladder or urinary system, etc. (treatment targeted at the cause).

If you find your urine is foamy, there are three possibilities

1. You hold your urine for too long, and the urine concentration is too high, so it foams. 2. You may have diabetes and your urine may contain sugar, which causes foaming.

3. You have kidney disease and renal insufficiency, so you have blistering. If this happens, see a doctor immediately to determine what is causing the foamy urine.

To sum up, yellow urine with foam is a normal physiological phenomenon. It is likely related to the amount of water you drink and the weather conditions. So if you don’t feel any discomfort, you don’t need to worry too much. However, if you have kidney discomfort in addition to abnormal urination, you should seek medical attention in time.
