Foamy Urine
For the past 10 months my urine color and odor as changed. I have always urinated allot due to an high intake of fluid.
However early last August I started to urinate 4-5 times before I got to sleep. Over the cause of the nest two months my urine started to change color. Next the stream of urine became more forceful, and started to smell.
Now for the past 6-7 months I get constant bubbles/foam when I urinate.
Several urine tests, both dipstix and lab tests have found nothing. Any Ides
Thanks

Thank you so much for your reply. I have had several dipstix tests and lab analysis and nothing as come back out of the norm. Even if I try to urinate slowly it still bubbles and foams, it also as a different distinct odour.
I drink around 2-3 litres of water daily, and have done for many years now, my urine was always light coloured without foam, even my first of the day was quite light. Now Most of my urine appears more concentrated than it was, only if I urinate say twice in an hour or less, the second one will be very clear.
I wish my docs would refer me to a Urologist but it is difficult to get referred because my urine tests so far have been clear.
How is Prostatitis diagnosed? I have had two D.R.E's and ct scan where they looked at my prostate and said it was ok.
