What to do if there is blood in urine after menstruation

Women have menstruation every month, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. If the menstruation is irregular, it needs to be properly regulated. Many women may still have bleeding after menstruation. This symptom is definitely abnormal. Generally, women should not have bleeding after menstruation. So what is the reason for blood in urine after menstruation?

Women's urethra is short and very close to the vagina and anus, so it is easy to be infected by bacteria and cause acute cystitis. Women are more susceptible to the disease, especially when they are busy at work, have no time to drink water and often hold their urine.

The bladder is an organ with rich blood vessels. When acute cystitis occurs, the microvessels of the bladder mucosa are damaged, so most patients will have hematuria. In mild cases, blood may be seen when wiping, and in severe cases, there will be a large amount of bright red hematuria, which often makes the patient panic.

In addition to hematuria, patients with acute bacterial cystitis may also experience frequent urination, difficulty urinating, urethral burning, and pain in the lower abdomen and urethral opening. In this case, the first thing you should do is drink plenty of water, which can quickly relieve the symptoms. Many patients are afraid to drink more water because of the burning and stinging pain when urinating, which will make the condition worse. Patients with acute cystitis can take antibiotics as prescribed by the doctor and can be cured in about a week.

In order to avoid the occurrence of acute cystitis, the first thing to do is not to hold urine. The second is to drink more water and eat more fruits, such as watermelon, because urination itself can flush the urethra. Less urination will allow bacteria to grow and cause infection. Again, to develop good hygiene habits, women must wipe from front to back after urinating or defecating to avoid bringing bacteria from the vagina and anus into the urethra. They should also bathe frequently, change underwear frequently, and keep the vulva clean. If acute cystitis occurs in connection with sexual activity, you should develop the habit of drinking plenty of water beforehand and urinating immediately afterwards.

If cystitis keeps recurring, it means that the patient's bladder mucosa is very weak in resistance to bacteria and he or she needs to go to the hospital and receive systematic treatment from a doctor. If the hematuria is ruled out as being caused by bladder foreign bodies or stones, you can take antibiotics for 3-6 months as prescribed by your doctor to rebuild a healthy mucosa.

To sum up, there are many reasons for women's bleeding after urination. Each situation is different, so we need to analyze it according to the specific situation. However, if female friends experience this phenomenon, it will lead to gynecological diseases, which are very serious. Therefore, once female friends find bleeding, they must go to the hospital to check the real cause and prescribe the right medicine. Early detection and timely treatment can avoid the occurrence of lesions.
