Hello,
Passing foamy urine sometimes is normal, as the speed of urination and other factors can influence it.
But if you have persistently foamy urine most of the time you pass urine then it could be a sign of protein in your urine (proteinuria), which will require further evaluation.
Increased amounts of protein in urine may indicate some kidney problem.
Consult a doctor and get an urine examination done for elevated levels of protein.
If the test is positive, you may need further tests to determine the cause of the problem.
You can ask if you have any more queries.
thank you
