What is the reason for foam in children's urine?

Many parents may still be worried when they see their children urinating with foam, fearing that it may be a sign of some disease. So what is the reason for foam in children's urine? In fact, many factors can affect children's urine, such as increased protein or some physiological reasons. Of course, we cannot rule out some urinary system diseases, which need to be treated with caution.

Human urine contains some organic and inorganic substances, which can increase the tension of urine and cause foamy urine. Therefore, for most people, foamy urine is a normal phenomenon, and foamy urine does not mean there is a problem with your health. But urine is one of the early warning indicators of human health. Foamy urine may also be caused by genitourinary infection, so it should be taken seriously.

In addition to increased urine tension, the reasons for foamy urine may also be urinary tract infection, or a lack of sexual intercourse for a long time but frequent sexual excitement, which leads to increased mucus secretion by the bulbourethral glands. In addition, diabetes, liver and kidney diseases, etc. can also cause foamy urine.

If there is a layer of fine foam floating on the surface of the urine and it does not dissipate for a long time, it is likely proteinuria. The identification method is to take a test tube or a small bottle, fill it with 20 ml of urine, and shake it back and forth with your hands. If small bubbles that do not dissipate for a long time appear on the surface of the urine, it is suspected proteinuria. It is seen in diseases such as kidney and should be paid attention to.

It is normal to have foam when urinating. However, for a very small number of people, foamy urine may contain protein. Since protein has low surface tension, when the protein content in urine is high, a lot of foam may appear on the surface of urine. At this time, if there is facial edema and eyelid edema, you need to ask a nephrologist to check the urine routine first. However, there is no need for most people to check. In addition, some people will produce foam when they urinate in a relatively high position.

Although, for most people and in most cases, foamy urine is normal, it cannot rule out the possibility of health problems. Therefore, if you find foamy urine and the amount of foam is large, you should go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time to resolve potential diseases in the bud as much as possible.

Through the above introduction, everyone is very clear about what is going on when there is foam in children's urine. Family members still need to pay attention to their children's health at all times, and properly adjust their diet and daily life so as not to let their children's health be threatened or harmed. Regular physical examinations are also very necessary so as to achieve early detection and early treatment.
