What Cause Bleeding From Urethra?

I have been bleeding for nearly 2 weeks now and just thought it was a period that had gone a bit wrong because of me recently starting the pill, however I have noticed that the blood isn t coming from where it normally would when on my period, it s coming from what I think is called the urethra?

I am really sorry to hear that about your Hematuria, that is bleeding per Urethra.
Hi and welcome to HCM..

I read your question completely and have understood it well enough..
I being a surgeon, we encounter so many such cases and I can tell you that you need further evaluation to find out the cause of Hematuria and treat the cause..
Can I know your age? Because, Hematuria is age specific. The causes are diverse and we have to see where you fit in.

Now I shall elaborate the various possibilities that you could be suffering from..
1. Kidney
Stones, cancer are the most common causes.
2. Ureter.
Again same, stones, cancer and any form of obstruction
3. Bladder
Stones, diverticulum, infections
4. Urethral causes almost similar to the above mentioned things.

So please do not neglect and wait..
Better to get few tests.
And do not get worried about cancer also, it's one of the cause.
Let's evaluate and see..

Get these tests done..
1. Urine routine and microscopy
2. Urine culture and sensitivity
3. Renal Usg scan
These three are enough initially.
If these won't help, then you may need what is known as Cystoscopy

And later we can decide..

Hope this helps you, in case you need any further assistance please let me know..
Take care and God bless you..
I find this answer helpful
