ABNORMAL CAUSES OF
FOAMY URINE
INFECTION
An infection in the urinary tract caused by
bacteria or fungi can result in cloudy and foamy
urine. This is usually accompanied by a burning
pain during urination, which is characteristic of a
UTI or urinary tract infection. The
microorganisms causing the infection produce
foam in one's urine.
UTI is usually detected in a urine examination
and may be treated with antibiotics. Patients are
also advised to increase their fluid intake to flush
out the microorganisms.
FISTULA FORMATION
In some people, a fistula or unnatural connection
may develop between the urinary bladder and the
colon (large intestine), and this is called a
vesicocolic fistula. The bladder becomes swollen
and fluid accumulates beneath the skin. Foam is
formed, and on urination, the urine becomes
foamy.
Because of the connection to the colon, the urine
may also have an offensive odor and may contain
some feces. This is not a normal condition and
may be a sign of another underlying condition
such as Crohn's disease or a tumor
