What Causes Bleeding From Urethra After Drinking Magnesium Citrate?
About two weeks ago I drank magnesium citrate to relieve constipation. When I have my first bowl movement from the citrate I strained a lot. After about the third BM I noticed blood when I wiped coming from where I urinate. My doctor ruled out a UTI and did a pelvic exam and everything was normal. Tomorrow I have a CT and bladder ultrasound. What could be wrong with me?
The possible reason for blood from the urethra is a side effect of magnesium citrate which has caused dysuria and altered urine pH. Recommended to consume plenty of liquids, discontinue magnesium citrate for better recovery.
