There were tiny drops of blood on the toilet paper after I peed. What could it be?

Question

Hi, Thank you for getting back to me. I'm pretty sure it wasn't from my vagina, it didn't appear to be. And no it hasn't happened since. It just kind of freaked me out:( I don't notice any other symptoms, is it possible to have a minor infection (i.e. without burning when urinating, without frequent need to urinate, etc)?

Hi there, If you are sure that it comes from your urine and not from your vagina, it could be caused by irritation to the bladder or to your urinary ducts. The main reason, at your age, for such as symptom is the presence of an infection in the bladder. Do you think that this could be your case ? Did it happen again since you ask your question yesterday ? It's possible yes. But what you need to know right now is that you should not freak out if it doesn't happen again. If it does, please consult a doctor in order to complete a series of tests and make sure we get a sense of what is going on. But as I said, right now we don't have to consult since it happened only once. Have a great day, Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
