Question : LATELY I HAVE NOTICED A LOT OF BUBBLES IN THE TOILET AFTER I PEE. I NEVER NOTICED IT BEFORE. IT SOUNDS SILLY BUT I REMEMBER READING ABOUT IT IN A HEALTH MAGAZINE BUT DON'T REMEMBER WHAT THE DIAGNOSIS WAS. MY RIGHT KIDNEY HAS BEEN HURTING BUT I THINK IT'S BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN TAKING TOO MANY SUPPLEMENTS.

Brief Answer:
Most common cause is an infection.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Infections are the most common cause. Others include abnormal communication between the urinary tract and segments of the intestines. Unless this is something stable over a long time with other symptoms, it is unlikely to have a pathologic cause.

I will recommend you monitor only. If you have n other symptoms of pain or changes in your urination habits, relay those to me.

I wish you well and hope hearing from you!
