Foamy Urine: Here’s Why You Have Bubbles in Your Urine


Seeing occasional bubbles in your urine is usually harmless—especially if they disappear quickly. But persistent, frothy foam that doesn’t dissipate (like the head on a beer) can be a sign of excess protein in your urine, a condition called proteinuria—and it may signal an underlying health issue worth investigating.
