Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / August 2008Foamy urine
Any reason why? Thought it was RetroGr. Apparently not. Thanks Ramón In article <5a0183b5-9304-4303-acc8-c1bdacc19ce5@l42g2000hsc.googlegroups.com>, > Any reason why? > Thought it was RetroGr.

[Me] Why do I have this foam in my urine especially the first pee of the day? Looks like the head on a glass of beer (Budweiser not Guinness). [Urologist]: Lots of people have foam in their urine. [Me]: Well, what causes it? I didn't have it a few years ago. [Urologist]: Maybe just the force of the stream hitting the bowl. [Me]: Nah, that hasn't changed. [Urologist]: Or maybe it's some dissolved proteins. [Me]: Which proteins? Can we find out? [Urologist]: Not worth doing so unless you have other symptoms. Don't worry about it. [Me]: Doesn't it indicate the kidneys aren't working properly? [Urologist (getting irritated)]: Like I said, if you have any other symptoms we'll investigate. Comment: This sounds like the lack of interest in sputum color and consistency and bowel movement shape size and fluidity. Just recently I read an article (maybe on Medscape) saying that we (the MD's) should be interested in bowel movements and even proposed a standard naming convention (I remember "rabbit plops" or something similar). Well after bowel movement size, shape, etc. has filtered through to the average PCP (about 20 years) they might turn their attention to pee <g>. > >My guess is that you ingested a detergent that does not break down. > > > >Bill > > Hmmm, I presume that detergent idea was humorous? Not really. I certainly am not an expert. Suppose you consumed some ETDA which I think is a detergent and also an ingredient in some foods. I also think that it is used as a chelating agent for both legitimate and quack cures. Look it up and report back to us.

Thanks Ramón Is it still foamy?? do you mean foamy leaving your body or in the toilet?? Michael The only two times I had foamy urine was because of a bladder infection. (caused by self catheterization when I had severe BPH) But if you have an infection I would guess there would be other symptoms such as low grade fever, feeling unwell and especially a strong smell from your urine. In my case the smell was unpleasant like stale fish. Does your uro have you on antibiotics still? If so it is unlikely you have an infection. You say you are continuing to pass clots and blood indicating that the prostate is healing slowly. Do you take aspirin frequently? It acts as a blood thinner and can slow the clotting and healing process, so I have been told. Was your pvp a long operation, in other words did the uro have to do a lot of work on you? That could certainly lengthen the recovery time. My pvp was extensive and my uro had me catheterized for a week after the op. He said it would reduce scarring and make for a better outcome. Quite a surprise since I had heard it was usually for 24 hours. My uro told me it could take 12 weeks before swelling subsided and I would regain a normal flow. He was right. I don't want to minimize your problems but 3 weeks after surgery is not very long. Provided you have a good uro (one that has the experience from doing at least 100 pvps) I would tend to trust him/ her. However if he has only started doing these you might want to see another uro, at least it might give you peace of mind. All the best, Dave. > The only two times I had foamy urine was because of a bladder infection. > (caused by self catheterization when I had severe BPH) But if you have an [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > All the best, > Dave. I take a mini aspirin and my Uro said that it was safe to continue with them before and after the PVP. I really don't understand why some people pass so much blood for so long. The laser should seal off the arteries as it goes. The usual cause of actual bleeding after is by doing something strenuous or straining on the toilet. Derek.

Thanks, for clearing some of my fear and uncertainty Ramón I take no antibiotics or aspirin, only E with gamma's. (400IU) Have refused all antibiotics offered after being released from hospital. There's no unpleasant smell. i drink plenty of lemoned h2o with ACV, and unsweetened cranberry juice. PVP lasted 45 mnts. Picking up the operative report today, it should clear many of my fears and unanswered questions the uro has been so reluctant in disclosing. The uro's demeanor has shown to be: flippant and secretive. Mind you, he's the best of the lot, seen for the last 30 yrs. Maybe, I should have not had any sexual stimulation three days post PVP. (that's when RetroGrade was discovered for the first time) Also, three times after that. No stimulation since 8/1, peeing is getting clearer and hopefully it's not the calm before the storm as in past experiences. The hematuria-clots spewed daily reminded me of the Texas chain saw massacre. Involuntary leakage happens once or twice daily, with or without hematuria and clots. Now, I know how a woman feels having her period without a tampon. Making love and pleasing a woman means the world to me, and it angers me when a urologist places no importance on my sentiments. If not for the caring responses received on this board I would have lost my mind.
