Brief Answer:
Please, do not get too worried at this time.!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these bubbles and all the disturbing thoughts that this has caused you. Bubbles in urine often signify air. Air is often from the digestive tract and this is common in persons with other disease conditions that allow gas to get into urine. These persons are often crippled by severe symptoms especially abdominal pain.

Having reviewed your information fully, there is nothing to worry about. The recent UA and kidney tests which were all normal are very reassuring. I believe this is a transient observation and would resolve spontaneously. I will advise that you monitor online at this time. If these bubbles fail to resolve within a week, only at that time would i want to do a laboratory analysis of urine to understand what the issues are.

In all, there are no read flags at this time and monitoring is all that I recommend. I would only consider further measures if bubbles in urine last beyond a week.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for any additional information or clarifications if need be.

Thank you. Your comment about GI gas is timely. These last few months I have excess gas and take 20 mg Nexium. My internist knows this. Interesting that it could be related.

Brief Answer:
It is a little more complex than you may think!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Excess gas in the stomach cannot directly pass into the urinary system unless there is come sort of connection. I wouldn’t want to think that is the reason why you observed these bubbles. These bubbles are purely incidental and would be transient.

I wish you well and keep me updated.
