Worried Girl with Cystitis

by Toptotty, May 13, 2008 11:52AM
Im pretty sure i have Cystitis, I have a constant urge to urinate and when i do i have a burning sensation. I also have blood in my urine so im confident it is Cystitis and i know what to do to cure it. What is worrying me is that there are small blood clots on the tissue when i wipe myself and i want to know if this is normal.
Ive never had Cystitis before and my doctor is pretty useless so i dont want to go to him but the clots are worrying me. Could someone please tell me if clots are normal with Cystitis or not.

Hi,

The presence of blood is a normal part of the irritation on the bladder. Keep yourself adequately hydrated and take antibiotics. If the bleeding doesn't improve in a day or two, best consult a doctor again.

Could it be possible that the blood is coming from the vagina? when was your last menstrual period? Do you have irregular periods?

Another question is whether the episode is related to some recurrent activity like sexual intercourse. If it is, and the cystitis seems recurrent, you may want to discuss taking prophylactic (pre-emptive) medications to avoid the complication.

Stay positive.
