Traditional Chinese medicine says, “The kidneys are the foundation of innate essence.” The kidneys, as vital detoxifying and metabolic organs in the human body, are mainly responsible for facilitating the elimination of toxins and waste, maintaining internal balance, and are crucial for human health.
However, in recent years, there has been an increasing number of men suffering from kidney diseases, mainly due to their daily diet and lifestyle habits.
Moreover, kidney diseases tend to be neglected. Due to concerns about reputation, many men with kidney issues are reluctant to seek medical attention. Over time, this can worsen the condition and impact overall health.
Therefore, it is important to take care of the kidneys regularly. When kidney function declines, the body may exhibit some unusual symptoms. It is recommended to pay close attention and observe.
Are kidney diseases often overlooked? Men should pay attention if they have 3 signs when urinating in the morning
Excessive or insufficient urine volume: Many people have the habit of urinating in the morning. After a whole night of metabolism, the body may retain excess toxins and waste. Urinating in the morning helps accelerate the detoxification process, which is beneficial for the body.
During urination, observe the volume. Normally, each urination should be around 200-400 milliliters. If you notice significantly higher or lower urine volume than usual, it could be a sign from your kidneys. It is advisable to promptly have your kidney function checked at a hospital to avoid health complications.
Abnormal urine color: When urinating in the morning, observe the color of your urine. Normally, urine should be colorless and transparent. If you notice a darker color accompanied by a foul smell, it could indicate kidney damage. Promptly seek medical evaluation of kidney function to prevent health issues. Conversely, if there are no such signs, it suggests relatively healthy kidneys.
Persistent foamy urine: Some men may observe the presence of foam in their urine in the morning. If the urine contains a significant amount of foam that persists, it requires special attention. This could be a sign of kidney damage leading to abnormal filtration function, causing an excess of protein in the urine. In such cases, immediate hospital evaluation and treatment are necessary to prevent kidney function decline and maintain overall health.
