Dark Blood In Urine, Drops Of Blood After Bowel Movement. What Kind Of Doctor Should I Meet?

Hi. I am a 30 year old female and just saw a good amount of dark blood in my urine. I am drinking a lot of water right now to try to use the bathroom soon so I can see if it happens again. I sometimes see tiny drops of blood in the toilet water after pooping. What type of doctor should I be looking for to help me out. I have no other symptoms besides this.

Hello and welcome to HCM.

Thank you for your query.

The causes for blood in the urine (hematuria) are multiple, and as you are not experiencing any other symptoms, I can only provide you with very general information. Let me thus, list the causes for hematuria for you:

-Kidney or bladder stone
-Urinary tract infection (UTI)
-Kidney disease
-Kidney cancer
-Bladder cancer
-Kidney or bladder infections
-Tumor in bladder, kidney or prostate
-Kidney injury
-Vigorous exercise
-Prostate enlargement
-Anemia (sickle cell anemia)
-Medications (eg. heparin, aspirin, penicillin,      phenazopyridine, cyclophosphamide, etc.)

As you have mentioned seeing drops of blood even after a bowel movement, I would like to ask you if this is fresh blood seen along with your stool, or from your urethra itself?

Fresh blood is a sign of a lower gastrointestinal bleed (GIT), and will have to be examined at the earliest. Please visit your doctor without further ado.

I request you to please consult your doctor and get yourself diagnosed and treated at the earliest.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications. I would gladly help you.

Best wishes.
