Your bathroom habits can tell you a lot of about your health. If you have dark yellow or cloudy urine, you’re probably dehydrated, and if you ate certain food and drinks, including asparagus, beer, garlic and coffee, these may temporarily give urine a stronger smell. Certain medicines and vitamin and mineral supplements can also alter the odour of urine.But what about foamy urine? And if you notice bubbles in the toilet all of a sudden, is it a cause for concern?

Foamy urine is one of the many characteristics that can be seen in urine, and while it may be a typical occurrence or an indicator of a serious medical condition, it is important to determine the cause.

It is possible for pee to foam and still be regarded normal if the bladder is already full and the urine is striking the toilet or the wall at a rapid enough rate to cause the water to be agitated, giving the urine a foamy appearance as a result.

On the other hand, Dehydration (not drinking enough water) can also make your urine foamy. The more dehydrated someone is, the more concentrated their urine will be as their body tries to conserve water.

When you notice your pee is foamy, it is imperative that you are aware of some of the other symptoms that may accompany this condition so that you can be on the lookout for them.

These symptoms can include swelling in the hands, feet, face, and abdomen, nausea, vomiting, difficulty sleeping, hazy urine, weakness, lack of appetite, and dark-colored urine.

When an individual has foamy urine and any of these other symptoms are present, it may be an indication that you have a kidney disease.

Protein in the urine can also cause frothy urine. Both conditions-diabetes, which affects the body’s insulin levels; and hypertension can affect blood flow to the kidneys, impairing their function. This increased pressure causes stress, which leads to damage and protein in the urine.

Autoimmune conditions also put stress and strain on the kidneys, potentially causing enough damage to disrupt the filtering process.

If foamy urine is a onetime occurrence, there’s no need to worry. That said, if you notice foamy urine every time you use the bathroom or it persists for several days to a week, you definitely need to get it checked out and start treatment.

The treatment for foamy urine is determined on the underlying cause of it.

In addition, certain food people consume can cause kidney issues or damage. People who already have kidney issues, diabetes and hypertension are advised to consume with caution or at least in moderation.

These classes of foods are foods high in salt, meats and sausage, canned food, pastries which are capable of raising the level of sugar in the blood and high protein consumption.

In conclusion, you are not expected to stay away from these foods but healthy consumption of them can prevent health issues which are most likely to cause foamy urine.

Sr. Ike noted that the institution had already recorded notable milestones, including full accreditation by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria and commencement of a Basic Nursing Programme supported by a qualified academic and administrative workforce.

She reaffirmed the college’s dedication to evidence-based and community-centred nursing practice.

Acknowledging the challenges confronting the young institution — particularly in infrastructure development, facilities upgrade, and funding, she expressed optimism that continued support from government and donors would help position the college as a leading centre for healthcare training.

Addressing the students, Obi congratulated the pioneer set and urged them to uphold the values of discipline, compassion, and integrity that define the nursing profession.

He described nurses as the “heartbeat of functional healthcare systems,” and encouraged the students to pursue excellence and lifelong learning in service to humanity.

He also commended the DMMM Congregation for its significant contributions to education and healthcare, noting that faith-based institutions continue to play a crucial role in reinforcing Nigeria’s social foundations.

The ceremony concluded with expressions of appreciation to community leaders, government officials, benefactors, and stakeholders for their support towards establishing the college, which is expected to contribute significantly to healthcare development in Imo State and beyond.

Serenity Royale Hospital has refuted claims that it conducted any drug-related tests on actress Regina Daniels.

The hospital said this in a public statement released on Thursday evening, following the trending medical report allegedly from the hospital confirming Regina Daniels’ drug addiction.

Recall that Regina Daniels’ estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko had accused her of drug addiction and insisted that the actress must submit herself for rehabilitation.

The accusation came after Regina called out the Senator for domestic abuse amid their ongoing messy breakup.

However, laboratory tests purportedly conducted by the hospital surfaced on the social media on Wednesday, showing toxic levels of marijuana, cocaine, morphine, opiates, and alcohol in her system.

Denying conducting any test on the actress, the hospital stated that the alleged medical report was fabricated.

Speaking in a statement signed by its management, the hospital said “Our attention has been drawn to a post (on an alleged MID TERM HOME DETOX REPORT) being circulated online in the name of Serenity Royale Hospital with respect to Mrs Nwoko Regina.

“We wish to state clearly that the publication and circulation of the said post containing classified information did not emanate from us and respectfully request the public to disregard same.”
