Brief Answer: Urinary tract infection Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for the query Air bubbles can occur while urinating if you passed urine very forcefully however the other common reasons for air bubbles in urine are 1. Urinary tract infection 2. Loss of protein in urine Here is how you should go about it 1. Pass urine a little slowly than normal and see if the bubbles persists 2. Approach a GP and order for a urine routine, urine routine should tell us if there is an infection or proteinuria 3. If there is infection, it will have to be treated with antibiotics like levofloxacin 4. Cystoscopy might not be the cause for the air bubbles I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me Regards
