What Causes Bleeding From Penis?
Question: Hi I noticed blood coming out of my penis 3 days ago just when i was about to urinate. I guess i must have hurt myself while masturbating but I feel no pain, I masturbated about 5 days ago, I have doubt it is the masturbation that caused it or I won't be writing you. I still see blood stains in my underwear when I wake up in the morning but it seems it is reducing. I hope it is not a dangerous. I have just one sexual partner for the past 8 years and I believe she is faithful too
Brief Answer:
Possibilities are injury from masturbation or urinary infection in urethra
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. Bleeding just before urination is due to a cause in the urethra. Bleeding might occur due to trauma or infection.
2. If you and your partner are faithful to yourself then there is no possibility of STDs.
3. Masturbation if done with force or violently, can cause damage to the urethra lining. If you remember that there was rough masturbation 5 days back and this symptoms started 3 days back then it is likely due to damage of the urethra. If it is reducing then this is a more likely cause.This is not a serious concern and will heal itself in a week.
4. If there is continuous burning in the urethra and bleeding from the tip before urination then it might be an urinary infection involving the urethra. This will usually get worse over time. If this happens then you should consult the urologist and get tested for any infection and take medicine.
5. Please avoid sex and masturbation for a week and use lubrication jelly and do masturbation slowly and in gentle way.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
