Question: What does foamy urine mean? What is the cause?

It is recurring and shows every time I urinate. I would say it has been going on for two or three months. What and why is the cause?

Brief Answer:
Foamy urine may suggest presence of protein in it

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Foamy urine may suggest presence of protein in it. This may in turn suggest some kidney pathology. It could be normal as well. If you are a diabetic please get a urinalysis and ultrasound done so that we can rule out any pathology.

Thanks!
