Frothy urine

I seem to be getting continual frothy urine. Do you think there is problem?
Is it one of those things that come and go..

Yeah, it's really normal.  Actually, when I was younger, I used to move the aim of the urine stream around in the toilet to produce as much foam as possible... I though it was cool... I was a weird kid, though, very weird.

I've noticed that too, but didn't pay much attention.

Justin, did you find anything out?

Apart from the strong urine stream theory, I'm afraid I'm at a loss.  Bubbles caused by the urine stream usually last a long time, by the way.  But aside from that, my next guess would be urinary tract or bladder infection, or maybe something funny which you drank or ate (on a regular basis, I suppose)...

I don't  think the frothy urine isn't caused by a strong urine stream.. .The bubbles seem to last a long time.. Any more thoughts?

Sorry, I forgot about the efficient censuring device - obviously, what became "****" above started out as a synonym of "urinate" - guess which one.

Has it always been like that?  Stupid question since you wouldn't worry if is has.  Sorry.

Seems to me that bubbly urine is just caused by a strong urine stream: the stronger the stream, the more bubbles produced.  If that's the only problem, then it's certainly NO problem.  After drinking coffee or soda, you'll need to **** and have a fuller bladder, causing the froth which you describe.  Good fun.

What do you mean by frothy urine?  Cloudy urine?  Could be a bladder or urinary tract infection.
