Question : Last nite I had a sudden ache in the lower area of the abdomen just above the pubic area. When I went into the bathroom I had had a sudden loss of a brownish-red blood. The pain has long since subsided and no more bleeding. It was like old blood had come away. The urine gives no indication of blood. What am I looking at? I am 79 years old.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query but it is not much clear where came the blood from.
I need to know is the blood came during urination, defecation or it was vaginal bleeding.
Also I need to know if this is the first time happening.
Waiting for your follow up question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
