Can Chronic Prostititis Cause Foamy Urine And Kidney Pain?
My urine has been very foamy and it looks like a plastic film if I let it stay in the toilet for a while like an oily substance. My GP told me my last blood test had a gfr of 51. I've been also diagnosed with chronic prostititis as well. I take flomax and terazosin which helps me greatly to urinate. My prostate is always swollen. Could my prostitis be the cause of the urine change. I've increased my water intake with no changes other than the color being clearer. kidneys hurting a little

Hi,
Having prostatitis (infection of the prostate) is also associated with infection of the urinary tract including bladder and kidney.
So, I'd suggest to:
- do a urine analysis
- do abdominal ultrasound
- do spermatic fluid testing and culture
- do measure your blood sugar levels and perform lipid profile testing
to exclude infection of urinary tract or kidney stones or other problems.
I'd advise to:
- drink more water
- avoid coffee/caffein/carbonated drinks
- avoid fatty/sugary/processed foods
- start taking otc herbal supplements containing rosa canina, uva ursi, milk thistle to alleviate your symptom.
All the best!
