Q: Blood after urinating
asked by: parsnippy on July 25th, 2009

After I urinate,a little blood comes out of my penis, it is completely painless, and it always happens directly after the urine comes out. I had the same problem a few months back, but I was scared to do anything, it stopped after a few weeks. the problem started for me again about two weeks ago, it happens usually when I defecate. I am a little scared to see a doctor about it, as I would need a lift from my parents to get to my nearest hospital.

I have not found anything that seems exactly the same on the net, I was hoping someone with medical experience could tell me what it is likely to be, and whether I definitely do need to see a doctor about it.

thanks.

same in 5 y/o child
I do not have an answer (sorry) but wanted to chime in if anyone else knows the answer...

My 5 y/o son is experiencing same thing. He is circumcised so I have ruled out balanitis. It's been happening for about 3 months. First time, went to doctor all tests negative. Dr. said it might be irritation due to riding bike. But lately he has not been riding bike and the small amount of blood after urinating is more frequent. The post above made me realize that he, too, mostly experiences this after defecating.

Another post thread on this forum mentioned that her son had also been constipated and it was causing the irritation inside the urethra and blood from the penis. My son is not constipated...defecating just fine.

I would appreciate any answers to help calm my fears.

From what I have read, me and your son might have enflamed prostrates. I think that defacation might damage the enflamed prostrate and cause the blood, try getting your son to drink more, its what I am doing, if it continues, I'm gonna go to a doctor.

We went to Dr. today and my son happened to defecate while we were catching the urine in a cup so they were able to positively ID blood (macro amounts) in the urine. I discussed the possible relationship of the rectum enlarging and causing pressure or narrowing somewhere on the urethra, and thus blood. Dr agrees there is a "blockage" somewhere and we need to ID where it is. We have an appointment with urologist in mid-Aug. I'll post what they find. They will sonogram first...then scope Shocked if necessary. It's going to take more than a lollipop to make him happy on that Dr. visit!

I also have been getting him to drink more water in the meantime--anything helps!

sounds good, still a little nervous about the Dr. its nice to know there is someone else, thanks for posting, I was getting extremely worried. I have just fallen in love, so its a very crappy time for something like this to happen, I was worried I was going to die, and it made me extremely sad that I didnt get to spend more time with here.

Meatal Stenosis

Scarring caused from circumcision caused the opening of the penis to be tiny. Dr. says it's common and one of the things that happens to circ. boys. An 8 minute procedure will fix it. Son has to be put under anesthesia so he won't jump.
