Blood While Urinating, Painful. What Could Be This?
Hello, I have an issue with urination.
Whenever I urinate, a few drops of blood follows the urine out of my penis. It is quite painful and stings. I stared experiencing this yesterday. The pain is only at the very tip of my penis, so it could be a cut. Many sources say that blood in urine could be caused by disease is this true?

Hello,
thanks for using health care magic.
Yes, you are right, blood in urine is not normal and most
often than not is caused by an underlying problem which
could be infectious or trauma or wound etc.
Urinary tract infection with bacteria is a possible cause of
your symptoms. Urinary tract infections could be sexually
transmissible or not.
Given your situation, it will be necessary to meet a doctor
for detail examination and lab investigations including urine
analysis and and urethral smear.
Best regards
Dr Achuo
