bubbles in urine

Hey I have recently been experiencing a varying amount of bubbles in my urine. I went to the emergency room and they sd i didnt have any protein.  He also said i didnt have kidney problems.  I think they were just rying to rush me out. They gave me a sheet and advd that i go see a urologist.  The doctor also asked me if i was ever tested for stds.  I said no, because the only sexual activity ive ever engaged in is body contact.  Can an std cause bubbles in urine.  what could it be if not protein?

Many thanks.

OMG. Chill out people. Everyone gets bubbles In their urine when peeing directly into the bowl, especially guys, it's normal. Society has so many people scared up of everything nowadays. Everywhere you look you see ads about cancer, heart disease, diabetes, kidney issues. It's all meant to make you worry. They know that what you think about, you bring about. It is the Law of Attraction. We become what we think about. I would not worry about anything unless you are very very deathly Ill. another thing that can cause bubbles is Candida and dieoff from it. I have plenty of bubbles some days,but when I drink water it goes away. Also when I pee in a cup or something it has no bubbles at all. Everyone needs to chill out or you will cause something bad to manifest in your body temple. Smile and enjoy life, it is an awesome trip.

Hi,
There are some common causes for bubbles in urine. Those are dehydration, high-velocity pee, toilet water and pregnancy. Some chronic reasons for the same are preeclampsia, proteinuria, vesicocolic fistula, urinary tract infection. So if you have any of these symptoms and causes then check with your doctor and get treated.

Well said mate..!! I've had bubbles for years it's nothing, get a cup of water & poor that in to your toilet & that makes bubbles too, doesn't mean the water has got an infection does it!

I have bubbles in my urine which is caused from the vaginal suppository base used. I take vaginal diazepam for pelvic floor dysfunction. Certain fatty or peg bases cause itching, frothy urine, and a urinary stream that seeps back to the anal area. What is frustrating is that this compounding pharmacy gets it right one month, where I have no symptoms, then the next prescription I get bubbles in urine with irritation and having to wear a panty liner. Soooo frustrating.

If its been happening his whole life then probably nothing dramatically wrong or other symptoms would likely be apparent. However, having said that, I have ckd (chronic kidney disease) and my urine has so many bubbles in it that a beer pourer would be jealous, that is it has more bubbles than a well poured beer head!!!!!  have tests for protein and kidney function.

My boyfriend went to the bathroom and forgot to flush... There were a lot of tiny bubbles in the toilet.
I asked him how long that has been happening, and he said his whole life.
Should I be worried?

Hi Lori

I have the same symptom.  Started having foamy urine and then about a month later, noticed some sloughing.  Urine dipsticks X5 negative for everything.  Still having pain but only on the right side.  CT scan was negative one month ago.

If a new born baby was to pee in a comode, it would bubble.  It is normal.  In your city water, there are so many PPM of clorine in the water. If you was to pee in strait bleach. it would foam all over the place.  Also, Do you have something that you put in the back of your tank that you bought at the store to help clean or to turn your water blue?   You guys are going to die a young death if you keep worrying about stuff that is as normal as a the sun rising up of a morning.  If your pee is bubbley,  smile and the bubbles and have a nice day.  Stop worrying.  
Joseph.

P.S.
If you have blood in your urine, then worry, there is something going on in there, if you burn when you pee, go to doc. takes 10 min. to get a scrip for antibiotics then your all better.  If you go to pee and you find that your tally-whaker is gone.  Call your bf/gf/husband/wife and tell them  you want it back..   LOL

My urologist told me bubbles in the urine can come from yeast. Not always candida albicans. Specifically ask for a FUNGAL culture of your urine, The lab does not always do this and you have to ask. If it is a yeast infection, have them culture for type and sensitivity, Npn-albicans yeast usually requires different anti-fungals than candida albicans. Can be azole resistant.

Everyone has bubbles in their urine.  If there weren't bubbles in your urine, what kind of world would this be?  Drink more water.  The bubbles are made from undiluted toxins in your urine stream.  Dilute them, flush them out, and pee freely.  Don't drink soap or laundry detergent.  If problem persists, consider a debubbler.  

The boundary layer between the stationary and turbulent flow regime in the toilet may be causing freak waves in the seiche-like effects of your urine discharge to the toilet water body.  You may want to consult a hydrodynamics specialist to address the serious urine-water interactions occurring in your toilet.  

But seriously, when I pee, my urine is yellow, and I see bubbles.  When I drink more water, it mimics water, and is clear and not as bubbly.  You are a man of civilization; you don't live within natural reality.  Holy ****! There is an ad for chicken wings at the bottom of this page! I need chicken wings!

Good day to you sir.

Hi....my metobolic counts indicate that my eGFR is stage 3 CKD, however I have never had a urinalisis, my Dr. said, my counts were all normal.
Craratinine serum (H) 1.21 mg/dL  0.57-1.00
dGFR                  (L) 45    mL/min/1.73  <59
Just commenting. I don't know if I have anything, since he said, everything was normal, and there has been no urinalis.

Wow - so many different issues in one post.  First let me say I went to a urologist for years because of a genetic kidney cancer that runs in our family.  I had urine tests in his office, cat scans and even a bladder scope.  Was told I had blood in my urine but all else was ok.  

I found out last fall that I have something called IgM Messangiopathy.  I was diagnosed because I had nephrotic syndrome at the time - swelled up and all of my blood tests were all wacky.  I now see a nephrologist.  I had frothy urine but only after my condition got bad.  Had swollen ankels on and off for years but nothing like when diagnosed.  At that time I had gained 70 pounds and was VERY swollen everywhere!

I have read that a really large part of the population has kidney problems but are not diagnosed.  I would suggest a 24 hour urine test to check for protein.  It seems to be the really good way to find it.  It did not show up for me in the urine tests in the office.  I think those were checking for infection, kidney function and cancer cells.  I know after I was diagnosed and being treated I had to go for a blood test every week to check kidney function and a 24 hour urine test once a month to check for the amount of protein in the urine.

I hope everyone on here gets checked for kidney problems.  It is best to find them before they damage your kidney.  Best of luck!

hello, at this moment, i have a sinus infection (i am twenty three years old though) and my urine also has a lot of bubbles and strong smell. These bubbles are out of character for me, i do not have any kidney disease and my bladder is fine, i also got worried because the bubbles are rather shocking when you see them; it makes you feel that something is seriously wrong, but i have been told that it is just a symptom of my sinus infection.

Everyone keeps saying that my urine is clear.  Which i dont understand because i do believe it is cloudy.  I can go to the ER, but i need to know exactly what i need to ask them for.  The first time i went.  the doctor said my urinalysis came back fine. And when the urologist looked at it under the microscope he said it was clear. And it wasnt an ultra sound.  it was a KAT scan are they the same thing?

Thanks Vivian.

Hi ultrasound scan of kisneys and bladder does not rule out any kidney diseases unless the kidneys have been so damaged and they look different in sizes.

If your urine culture doesnt have any bacterial growth, I would suggest you see a nephrologist. Can you tell me, do you have any RBC, WBC or protein in your urinalysis?
