What Causes Blood In Urine After Having Sex?

After having sex with my boyfriend last night I went to go to the bathroom to urinate (because I am pron to UTI s) and I noticed blood in the toilet. The blood almost seemed like a menstraul discharge. It was little spots (about 5-7) of clear discharge with strings of blood in it. I assumed I was on my period and put a tampon in but 3 hours later there was nothing on the tampon. I haven t urinated anymore blood but I would like to know what is going on? Could I have had a miscariage? Or is it a UTI that got out of control?

Hi,

Bleeding after sex is known as postcoital bleeding. It can occur in people of all ages. Postcoital bleeding may come from the vaginal walls, cervix, urethra or vulva. However, postcoital bleeding is more likely to be caused by some common conditions such as infections like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), sexually Transmitted infection (STI), cervicitis or vaginitis etc, vaginal dryness dude to having intercourse before you are fully aroused, douching, feminine hygiene products or certain medications, polyps on the cervix or in the endometrial lining of the uterus, vaginal tearing due to vigorous sexual activity, cervical or vaginal cancer, genitourinary syndrome of menopause etc. Several steps may be taken to determine the source like transvaginal ultrasound, pap smear, urine test, vaginal or urethral swab for C/S, examination of vagina and cervix by colposcope etc. The cause of post coital bleeding will determine the treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your questions. Let me know if I can assist you further.
