Blood coming out while urinating?!
Question:
Blood coming out while urinating?
Two nights ago when I went to the bathroom, a little blood came out while I was urinating. It happened again this morning. What could this be (P.S., this isn't my period, since I'm a man :) )
Answers:
Hematuria (the medical name for blood in the urine) is symptomatic for a number of diseases, like urinary tract infections, kidney stones, cystitis (inflammation of the bladder) and some STDs. In any case, you should visit a urologist or a clinic to get a urine culture taken. If you ignore a urinary tract infection, you can develop nephritis, which is a kidney infection, and much more serious.
In the mean time, you can drink plenty of fluids. Highly acidic juices, like cranberry and pomegranate can acidify urine and help keep the bacterial count low.
