Aa
sneezed while peeing, now it is bleeding, help?!
I was going to the bathroom, and while going pee full stream, I sneezed hard, then felt a painful feeling in my penis. Then directly after I started to drip blood out of my penis, and there is still a slow drip, and when I do pee it hurts and pushes out what seems to be a thicker blood. and then the blood and urine mix. This just happened today, and I was hoping not to have to go to the hospital, but wanted to know a professional opinion before I go to a hospital. Could this heal itself??? Again this is something that just happened today. Thanks
What happened with it? I did this today. Did you have to see a doctor?

I'm hoping the lack of response isn't because they died from this, cuz I just did the same thing.
This is not an answer but the same thing happened to me this morning except I sneezed pretty hard and kind of squeezed my penis too stop the flow so I didnt **** all over the place. I felt a sharp pain amd tuen noticed blood dripping out of the tip after I was done peeing it continued to burn when I urinated through out the day amd somewhat subsided as the night came too a close. However I am still a little nervous and would appreciate any advice.

What ended up happening? I did this today.
Cipro Given Black Box Warning
July 12, 2008, 02:00:00PM.
"Washington, DC: On July 8, 2008 the Food and Drug Administration slapped a black box warning on Cipro and other, similar antibiotics due to an increased risk of tendonitis and tendon rupture. Recent adverse reports include ruptures to the shoulder, hand, bicep or thumb tendons."

"Information for Healthcare Professionals: Fluoroquinolone Antimicrobial Drugs [ciprofloxacin (marketed as Cipro and generic ciprofloxacin), ciprofloxacin extended-release (marketed as Cipro XR and Proquin XR), gemifloxacin (marketed as Factive), levofloxacin (marketed as Levaquin), moxifloxacin (marketed as Avelox), norfloxacin (marketed as Noroxin), and ofloxacin (marketed as Floxin)]"
"FDA ALERT [7/8/2008]: FDA is notifying the makers of fluoroquinolone antimicrobial drugs for systemic use of the need to add a boxed warning to the prescribing information about the increased risk of developing tendinitis and tendon rupture in patients taking fluoroquinolones and to develop a Medication Guide for patients. The addition of a boxed warning and a Medication Guide would strengthen the existing warning information already included in the prescribing information for fluoroquinolone drugs."
"Fluoroquinolones are associated with an increased risk of tendinitis and tendon rupture. This risk is further increased in those over age 60, in kidney, heart, and lung transplant recipients, and with use of concomitant steroid therapy. Physicians should advise patients, at the first sign of tendon pain, swelling, or inflammation, to stop taking the fluoroquinolone, to avoid exercise and use of the affected area, and to promptly contact their doctor about changing to a non-fluoroquinolone antimicrobial drug."

MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
Hi,
It is possible that you had a trauma-induced urethral tear that is still open and is causing bleeding accompanied by flow of urine. You can check whether the bleeding will subside on its own, but it is apparent that with the extent of damage implied by your symptoms, you may be required to seek direct medical attention and will definitely need a course of antibiotics.
Blood at the beginning of urination indicates that the source of bleeding is in the urethra or at the bladder outlet. It would still be good idea to seek direct medical attention to rule out injury to the blood supply of the penis or the bladder, by an ultrasound, even though damage to these structures is unlikely.
Ensure that you keep fluid intake over 2000 ml and try to acidify your urine with vitamin C-rich foods and juices. Vitamin C will also help in faster healing of any mucosal break, such as that in the urethra. Try to pass urine every 2 hours or more frequently to wash away any collected blood and bacteria. Take tylenol for the pain every 4-6 hours and start a course of antibiotics, norfloxacin or ciprofloxacin at the earliest.
