Brief Answer:
Are you on any medications?

Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this blood drops that you have reported. I have reviewed this information fully and for now, we have to be calm and avoid aggressive and maybe unnecessary testing and treatment. I will recommend that we monitor only at this time. If it resolves spontaneously, fine but if it should persist beyond a day, then I will recommend that you get a urine test and even inspection of the urethral opening in an attempt to identify the exact origin and cause of this blood drop. If you are on any medications especially blood thinners, please let me know.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
