Oily pee?

Question

I just went to pee and when I looked the water had like a oily or greasy film on the surface.

What could this be?

Answer

Women tend to have "oily" urine. It comes from the sweat and the natural oils your vagina and labia produce to regulate the ph. Ever noticed how men's pee is usually foamy? That's because it comes from the head of the penis, whereas a females urine may touch parts of the surrounding vaginal areas before hitting the water. I work in a laboratory and see many urine samples a day, and I can usually tell just by looking whether the patient is male or female, because of the oily vs foamy urine.
