    Probably going to the hospital later because of my kidneys

    Hi everyone, its me again.

    In the past, I've had my struggle with bubbly and foamy urine. I know this is fairly common especially among men.

    I'm a bit freaked out because recently, I have some of the bubbles and foamy stuff that don't get flushed even after I flush the toilet. I've had some friends pee on the toilet and most of them leave bubbles or froth even after flushing. That's the only thing that is keeping me sane.

    But just this morning, I sudddenly bcame anxious about all this bubbly thing in urine atter flushing. Having HA, i am diagnosing myself with protein in urine and kidney disease.

    My last urine test was last year and it came out fine. Im just scared that between last year and today, my kidneys are sick and leaking already.

    Im at work now and i cannot concentrate.

    Im thinking of going to the hospital to have a urine test to finally confirm or clear my fears. Im hoping for the latter of course.

    I just wanna ask if anybody here had been sooooo sure beyond doubt that there was something wrong with them, but eventually the medical test said you are fine? Cuz right now I am sure as hell that my kidney is leaking and malfunctioning at the age of 21

    You don't seem to have symptoms of an infection or UTI .
    If anything was wrong with your kidneys you'd be feeling pretty ill.
    I think you're focusing too much on your urine and not accepting its pretty normal.

    What do you think is wrong?

    Hi mishel, thanks for the reply.

    The thing I think is wrong is that I have protein in my urine not because of a treatable infection but because it is not in good shape in general.

    I am merely judging myself based on the foamy and bubbly appearance of my urine in the toilet and some of the bubbles still rise on the surface even after flushing it!

    This is really making me feel bad. :(

    I think we all have...that's why we are here...I am so sure myself right now that I have a serious illness

    Im sure you are fine, it really doesn't sound like anything else than health anxiety (which is bad enough, I know)

    I did last year! I was worried about that last year because one test I did came back and said proteins in the urine. So I kept controlling it and to me it looked very foamy. So I went to have a new test but the levels were normal again! So the foam was either just my imagination or something that is normal.

    Hi justina, thanks again.

    So you had one protein positive result? How about now?

    What did the doctor say?

    Can I suggest that a walk in centre or GP might be a better option.

    Yes I had proteins in the urine, the doctor said something about a mild infection that might have left some signs.
    When I went back everything was normal, even though I was sure I saw foam...

    Hi dan, i'll try but all the gps here in my country are in big hospitals. Will probably do a urine test soon. So scared out off my wits.

    Justina, i see. Good thing everything came back clear. How's your urine now?

    I do admit that I tend to not drink enough water..
