Foam in urine in women. Reasons, home treatment

Foam in urine in women is not always a pathological condition. Sometimes physiological factors are the cause. A physician therapist will help determine a disease or disorder in a woman's body. If necessary, the patient will need to consult a specialized specialist, taking into account the provoking reason. In the case of pathology, a woman needs to undergo comprehensive treatment, without which serious consequences can appear.

Pathological causes

Foam in a woman's urine indicates that the concentration of protein is increased. The pathological condition often occurs as a result of impaired renal function. In some situations, other internal systems and organs suffer, against the background of which foam appears in the urine.

Name	Description
Kidney disease	We are talking about glomerulonephritis, sclerotic changes, amyloidosis. The kidneys filter urine and blood, removing waste materials. In this case, the protein is excreted in minimal quantities. For this reason, the functioning of the kidney parenchyma is disrupted, which negatively affects the work of the entire organ. insta story viewer
Autoimmune Disorders	Many diseases of the immune system are accompanied by foamy urine. These are systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis.
Endocrine diseases	Diabetes mellitus at an advanced stage of development affects the organs of the urinary system.
Fistula	When a hole forms in the walls of the bladder, urine quickly mixes with air, against the background of which foam forms when urinating. A dangerous disease that requires immediate medical attention.
Infectious lesion of the urinary system	Urogenital diseases that provoke bacteria and fungi are accompanied in some situations by foam in the urine of women. Indicative signs are also pain syndrome, itching, specific discharge.
Liver disease	Foam in the urine is an indication because the liver is actively involved in protein metabolism. Pathological symptoms indicate impaired functioning of the organ, it does not cope with its duties.

In children, frothy urine is a consequence of high body temperature, especially after suffering a cold (ARVI, pneumonia, flu). This unpleasant phenomenon indicates that pathological processes have negatively affected the functioning of the organs of the urinary system. The same applies to cardiovascular pathologies and chronic diseases (tonsillitis, sinusitis).

Non-pathological causes

Foam in the urine of women (the reasons will help to establish diagnostic measures) does not always occur against the background of pathological factors.

There are various physiological sources that contribute to urine blistering:

• prolonged stress, emotional stress;
• severe mental shock;
• dysfunction of the brain, trauma or tissue damage;
• heart problems;
• violation of material metabolism;
• improper diet, frequent overeating;
• long-term treatment with certain drugs (cytostatics, antibacterial drugs);
• overheating or hypothermia of the body;
• diagnostic measures, in particular, rough palpation of the kidney area;
• hot climate;
• production activities in workshops where the air temperature is increased;
• visit to the sauna and bath;
• premenstrual syndrome.

A change in ambient air temperature can provoke the appearance of foam in the urine. The same applies to excessive physical exertion and poisoning of the body with salts of heavy metals.

The most common reason for urine foaming is the remains of detergent on the walls or rim of the toilet bowl. Some are added to the barrel. The active components are activated when the water is drained.

In young children, in the first years of life, the body is just forming and adapting to the surrounding conditions. Therefore, the child's urine changes in composition, sometimes foaming.

With the use of a minimum amount of water, the concentration of urine increases, it becomes saturated. Therefore, when urinating, not only dense foam is formed, you can also notice a change in the color of the urine.

Symptoms

If the foam in the urine of a woman is a consequence of pathological processes, the patient notes additional clinical symptoms. With them, it is important to immediately go to the hospital and be examined.

Foam in the urine of women (complex diagnostics will help determine the causes of the pathological condition) is accompanied by the following signs:

• swelling of the upper and lower extremities, sometimes the abdomen;
• sleep is disturbed, a woman is worried about insomnia;
• there is nausea and vomiting;
• there is a feeling of fatigue;
• appetite worsens;
• the volume of urine excreted decreases or increases;
• there are problems with conceiving a child;
• the urine becomes cloudy and dark;
• blood impurities and flakes appear;
• urine takes on an unpleasant, pungent odor.

Edema when urine with foam appears more often indicates damage to the organs of the urinary system (kidneys). In this situation, an immediate consultation with a urologist and a specially selected treatment are necessary. In children, the pathological condition is accompanied by weakness, dizziness, joint pain and high fever.

In the morning hours

Foam in the urine of women in the morning more often occurs against the background of polyuria. The pathological condition provokes the appearance of frequent urge to urinate. The disease in most cases occurs while taking certain medications. Improper diet or overuse of foods that enhance kidney function also contribute to the development of polyuria. There is a rapid accumulation of urine, which comes out under pressure, so bubbles form.

The appearance of morning foam in urine is also explained by the fact that a large amount of urine accumulates during the night. Its release is happening rapidly. The urine is saturated with air, so you can see a frothy cap in the toilet.

During pregnancy

During the period of gestation, the female body undergoes numerous changes, as it adjusts to the development of the fetus and tries to preserve it. If violations occur systemically, the expectant mother needs to consult an obstetrician-gynecologist to determine the cause of the pathological condition.

Foam in the urine of women during pregnancy is a consequence of the following factors:

Name	Description
Preeclampsia	The pathological condition is characterized by high blood pressure, edema and headaches. A urine test will show high protein levels.
High pressure on the bladder	The fetus and uterus enlarge throughout pregnancy. They put pressure on the bladder, which gradually builds up. While the woman is patient, urine mixes with air. Therefore, foam appears during urination. This is more of a physiological cause that does not require medical intervention.
Polyuria	During pregnancy, a woman consumes a large amount of liquid, which mixes with air and foam forms.
Toxicosis	The pathological condition provokes dehydration of the body, which affects the quality and quantity of urine excreted.

In any situation, consultation with a gynecologist is necessary, since pathological processes threaten not only the life of the mother, but also the child.

Diagnostics

A comprehensive examination with the appearance of foamy urine is necessary for a person to establish the cause of the pathological condition. The doctor will prescribe diagnostic methods to the patient, taking into account her health, complaints and symptoms.

When foam appears in the urine, a person is recommended to undergo the following tests:

Name	Description
Bacteriological examination of urine	The examination will help identify the causative agent of the inflammatory process and select the most effective drugs against pathogenic bacteria.
Ultrasound examination (ultrasound)	The specialist examines the kidneys, their structure, assesses the size and boundaries, reveals pathological changes (inflammation, stones, tumors).
Excretory urography	The examination allows not only to view the kidneys, but also the urinary ducts, to determine their blockage and the degree of development of pathological processes.
Computed tomography (CT)	The most informative examination method, which helps to assess the degree of kidney damage, and also to identify the complications present.

It is important to differentiate the disease, because many diseases of the kidneys, liver or reproductive system are accompanied by similar clinical symptoms. The effectiveness of the therapy will also depend on the results obtained.

Potential danger

Foam in the urine of women (the reasons for this condition are physiological or pathological) often occurs as a result of the development of degenerative-dystrophic processes. In this situation, a comprehensive examination will help to establish an accurate diagnosis. Without treatment, pathological processes will progress, as indicated by characteristic clinical symptoms.

A dangerous condition requires immediate medical attention, especially if the following signs are present:

• regular swelling of the legs and arms;
• the color of urine has changed;
• an unpleasant smell appeared;
• disturbed by strong painful sensations.

The lack of a properly selected treatment will provoke serious complications and consequences:

Name	Description
Cervical erosion	Gynecological disease, as a result of which the inflammatory process on the surface of the mucous membrane disrupts the structure of the tissues.
Endometritis	A disease characterized by an inflammatory process in the inner mucous layer of the uterus. A woman has characteristic discharge, painful sensations and the menstrual cycle is disrupted.
Pyonephrosis	The disease develops against the background of incompletely or incorrectly performed pyelonephritis therapy. The kidney fills with pus and waste products. In this situation, the only solution is surgery and complete removal of the kidney.

The most dangerous complication of damage to the genitourinary system is infertility. Therefore, a woman should not delay going to a specialist, especially if the foam on the surface of the urine is present for a long time.

What needs to be done?

Foam in the urine of women requires the consultation of a general practitioner or other specialized specialist if alarming symptoms and a pathological condition are present for at least 3-5 days. The patient will be prescribed a comprehensive examination in order to establish a diagnosis and choose the most effective treatment. It is recommended to refuse independent therapy, since it is possible to provoke a deterioration in health and serious consequences.

The pathological cause of foamy urine requires drug therapy. The doctor selects the scheme and dosage for each patient individually, taking into account the results of diagnostics and individual characteristics of the body.

Drug group	Name	Application
Antibiotics	Augmentin, Ceftriaxone	Medicines are prescribed if a bacterial infection is detected. Adult patients are prescribed 1 tablet 3 times a day.
Diuretics	Furosemide, Veroshpiron	The standard dosage of the drug is 2-3 tablets 1-2 times a day. The medicine is taken orally and washed down with a little water.
Immunomodulators	Timalin, Ismigen	The medicine is diluted with saline (1-2 ml) before administration. The drug is used intramuscularly. The adult dosage is 5-20 mg. The therapy lasts 3-10 days.
Anti-inflammatory	Movalis, Nurofen	The drug is administered intramuscularly at 7.5-15 mg 1 time per day.
Herbal preparations	Kanefron, Urolesan	The adult dosage is 2 tablets or 50 drops 3 times a day.
