Suggest Treatment For Pain In Urethra
Question: I am having fairly intense pain in my urethera that gets much worse when I urinate! I am also finding blood (pinkish) on the toilet paper! Yesterday the pain was constant and I could only urinate in very small amounts. Today, the pain has been a bit less and I am urinating a normal amount.
Brief Answer:
Could be urethritis or cystitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
Pain in urethra and blood during urination could be suggestive of acute urethritis or bladder infection (cystitis is more common in women) but must be confirmed by appropriate tests.
However, your symptoms has improved today,so you should take plenty of fluids (water and fruit juices) orally with over the counter pain killers for symptomatic relief.
Or if your symptoms re-appears with pain or blood in urine or burning urination then it should be further investigated by routine blood counts,urine analysis and urine culture to make sure that if you have any urinary infection or not.
Hope this helps and let me know if you have more questions.
Regards,
Dr.Sandip Kabra
