I want to talk about how, in the morning, the vast majority of men will first go to the bathroom to expel the urine that has accumulated overnight. In many cases, the first morning urine can reflect the recent condition of our kidneys, as the differences in the urine excreted after a night of rest and metabolism can indicate the state of the kidneys, according to experts. Today, we will discuss three characteristics of the body’s first urination; if all three are present, your kidneys are definitely very healthy.
1. No unusual color
Under normal circumstances, because the body does not intake water at night, the first morning urine is usually light yellow. However, if the first urination appears particularly dark yellow to tea-colored, and there is a cloudiness, it could indicate kidney problems. The most common reason is that blood proteins have entered the urine; if this situation persists without improvement, it is important to seek medical treatment to prevent kidney health from becoming critical.
2. Strong urinary flow
For healthy men, the urinary flow should be strong, allowing all urine to be expelled forcefully at once. If there is a symptom of weak urination, like a faucet that is not fully shut off, it could indicate issues with the prostate or the kidneys. If this condition persists and is not treated, it may also affect reproductive functions, making it difficult to conceive.
3. No foam
The absence of foam here does not mean that there is absolutely no foam; it means that when the urine flows into the toilet, any foam generated dissipates completely in a short time, indicating that the kidneys are still in a healthy state. If there is abundant foam that lasts a long time, it may indicate the presence of protein in the urine, leading to persistent foamy urine. This can occur both with the first urine in the morning and at other times, likely indicating kidney problems and damage.
4. No blood in urine
It is quite rare for a healthy person to experience this condition; if it occurs, it is advisable to consult a doctor promptly. The presence of blood in the urine can stem from various complex causes, so seeing a doctor is the best choice.
If your first morning urine consistently shows none of these issues, congratulations; your kidneys are likely in a relatively healthy state. If such problems persist for a long time, early medical attention is necessary. It is also important to pay attention to diet and rest, eating lighter foods that benefit the kidneys, and ensuring adequate sleep each day.
