Is Foam Formation During Urination A Serious Issue?
Question: Hello
I have a quick question.
When I pee I notice that a slight foam is formed in the water. I checked online for what it could be caused by just for curiosity and read that it could be protein. I have test strips for pee and they show no trace of protein in my pee and I've tried several times at different times and all negative.
Also the foaming is not happening all the time.

Brief Answer:
Nothing to be worried about
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
In a normal individual foaming of urine happens when one passes more volume of urine after a long interval or fist urination in the morning .It is primarily due to urine stream hitting forcefully against the wall of the commode .
Since you do not have any other urinary symptoms and Urine dipstick test being normal you should not be worried at all .
