Question: This week I have been bleeding when I urinate. I had eblation procedure 7 years ago so I haven't had periods at all. This doesn't seem like a period. It only comes out when I urinate, not in a pad or anything. Should I see a doctor?

Brief Answer:
Yes!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks so much for this query.

You definitely need to see a doctor, preferably your OBGYN. Having not had periods in 7years followed by any bleeding needs to be taken seriously and evaluated. I will recommend you see a doctor at your earliest convenience, though not as an emergency.

If you have any other symptoms such as painful urination, frequent urination, etc., kindly communicate with us as this would aid in considering different possible causes.

I hope this helps and guides. I wish you well. Keep me updated and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications as you deem necessary.

Brief Answer:
Probably a urinary tract infection!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Raises genuine concerns about a possible urinary tract infection. If you can see the doctor right away, that's ideal. If you cannot, take ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily for 5days while you make your way to the hospital. Remember to drink much water all through this process.

I hope this guides and helps. I wish you well. Keep me posted.
