Detailed Answer:
Hi, Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar here. I welcome you to HCM VIRTUAL CLINIC . I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.
1 ) First of all do not panic.
2 ) I would like to know -
Did you have any past history of urinary tract calculus (stone) ot urine infection , in the past or in the recent past. Was this bleeding associated with burning urination?
3 ) At your age,, I suppose that you are in post menopausal stage.
Many times in such situation, skin of the vulva and vagina becomes thin and vulnerable to bruising and infection.
I will also suggest to abstain from sex activity for few days ahead , as you have mentioned about it in your history.
4 ) I will suggest you to get gynec check up done at your convenience.
Till then, I will suggest -
- Hydrate yourself, drink plenty of water and fruit juices.
- keep the private parts clean and dry.
- Use of Lactacyd vaginal wash daily during the bath .
- use some local antiseptic ointment twice a day for 5 days, for the time being.
5 ) Lastly, please get hemogram, Urine Routine Examination, BSL - FASTING AND POST LUNCH, USG done.
This will help to identify the cause behind your symptoms.
I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks.

I will suggest you to take plenty of fluids orally. Also, a prescription for a urinary alkaline solution will be of help.
