Can Incontinence At The Age Of 82 Cause Vaginal Bleeding?
My mother is 82 years old & has stress incontinence & quite frequently gets irritated down there. She recently noticed small amounts of bright red blood on her pads & says she is very irritated & it burns when she urinates. Do you think this is related to the urinary incontinence or at 82 could she actually be having vaginal bleeding?
urinary incontinanace has nothing to do with bleeding per vagina. bleeding at this age should be considered serious and need immediate attention and thorough examination from a gynaecologist . pls respond quickly to her problem. there is a chance of carcinoma .
