General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

The frequent urination you are experiencing is suggestive of urinary tract infection (UTI) or high concentrated urine. Blood you noticed when wiped could be due to laceration of urinary pathways probably due to:
• Infection
• Sludge/stones

I advise to:
• Take a home urine test (buy urine test strips at your local store) to see if infection and evaluate the pH
• Increase water intake
• Take cranberry supplement for a few days

If the test is positive for infection, consult further with your doctor as you might need prescription meds.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini
