Ladies Only Please

[Carnation]

I'm bleeding when I have a pee. Fresh blood and some a little darker. It also stings when I pee. And it's sore in that area most of the time.
I finished my periods 20 years ago.
I'm in a very worried state.
Has anyone else had anything similar?
Please be gentle with your answers.
Thank you.

Up your water intake to flush it out. Cranberry tablets….. Boots sell stuff for Cystitis. If it doesn’t work within a few days, you may need antibiotics.

Thanks darksky. I'd rejected cystitis because I'm a regular drinker of fluids... 10 cups of tea, 4 glasses of water, 2 glasses of juice daily. Plus salads and fruits that contain mostly water. My pee is golden yellow mostly too.
Thanks for replying, I do appreciate it. x

Hi Carnation,
Yes I’ve I’d that on 3 occasions and it was cystitis...
The first time I got it, it was bad it was like weeing blood and the sensation of it was horrible when you went to the toilet, it stung and a burning feeling. That time I had to have antibiotics and that cleared it, the other times I just drank plenty of fluids to flush it out, Cranberry juice is supposed to be good,
Don’t worry Carnation, it’s nothing serious, it’s very uncomfortable and not pleasant and can be sorted easily.

sending a big hug...

Could still be cystitis. Wouldn’t hurt to nip to Boots and ask the pharmacists advice on their products.

I think it’s something most women get at times.

Thank you YNWA
I think you are right. I'm very grateful for your reply x

Darksky, thank you too and for the link. I've got some cystopurin and I'm drinking cranberry juice like there's no tomorrow. I never thought it could be cystitis but its clear to me now. Thank you for responding x

An update....
It's day 4 and the stinging and burning went on day 2.
I still feel sore, more when sitting.
No more blood since the Saturday.
Feel ok generally but.....
I can't get it out of my head with the bleeding. I'm constantly checking and peering in the loo.
My anxiety wants to convince me it's danger, so I'm having a hard time with that.
I'm hoping time will heal that.
Today was the first time I went out since the incident so was a bit shaky but I got through it.

I've come back to this thread because I think I have a vaginal tear. I'm quite sore in that area. It would make sense with the bleeding and it can initially cause the stinging / burning sensation. I took the course of sachets for cystitis but the stinging cleared up after 1 day. My wee is a beautiful golden yellow colour and has been for days, actually it has been clear on numerous occasions, probably from the excessive fluids I've been downing.
So it's day 7 and my vagina area is sore, like 90% of the time. In the vulva area. So I'm thinking that's more likely to be the issue. I know the area can get dry as you age. And the day I bled I gave myself a good scrub with a roughish flannel. I don't know why I did that, I've never done it before, I normally use my hand to clean. It was moments after that I bled. Is that a coincidence?
