Doctor has warning for anyone who notices bubbles in their urine when they go to the toilet

Our bodies often offer subtle signs that something isn’t right with our health, we just have to learn to listen and not ignore the cues, such as unusual pain, persistent discomfort, or any changes in bodily function, including bubbles in the urine.

Dr Shirley Koeh, a medical practitioner, shared a video in which she explains what it means when someone notices bubbles in their urine.

First thing first, she explains that it is important to notice if the presence of the bubbles is just a one time things, which would mean the person needs to hydrate, or the bubbles appeared more than once.

According to her, the presence of bubbles in the urine may indicate the presence of protein in the urine, and the reasons for this can be various.

“If you have done the above,” referring to trying to stay hydrated, “and yet the bubbles don’t go away, then we need to consider the following,” she explained, and added there are two types of tests that can provide answers.

The most accurate test is the one done in the lab. An analysis of a urine sample can determine if there is a presence of “any microalbumin, which is the small protein that will exist in your urine.”

The second test is “just by a simple urine dipstick test.”

If the tests indicate the presence of protein, it can mean the person suffers from hypertension, diabetes, chronic infections (such as HPV), autoimmune disease, or kidney disease secondary to drug intake, caused by ‘chronic drug and alcohol misuse’ which can lead to severe kidney damage or even failure.

Vikas Desai, MD, a urologist at Delnor Hospital, says bubbles in the urine can also indicate blood cancer.

At pregnant women, foamy urine may indicate a serious condition known as preeclampsia. These individuals need to see a doctor as soon as possible.
