Urethra bleeding but no pain

There is a small round hole above the vulva and just below the clitoris, which is the opening of the urethra. The female urethra opening is very short, located above the vagina and parallel to the vagina, and it is connected to the bladder. So why do women bleed from their urethra but don’t feel any pain?

If a woman has bleeding from her urethra but no pain, it is necessary to rule out the possibility of menstruation. Generally speaking, it is considered to be caused by genitourinary tract infection, stones, bladder tumors, etc. It is recommended that if the urethral orifice has been bleeding for more than ten days, you should go to a regular hospital for urology or gynecology examination and treatment immediately to prevent the condition from worsening due to delayed treatment. You should drink more water and pay attention to the daily cleaning of the urethral orifice.

If a woman has urethral bleeding but no pain, the possible causes are:

1. Urethral caruncle and bleeding. It is common in postmenopausal women. The caruncle is caused by the partial prolapse of the urethral mucosa. It is located around the urethral opening and will cause a small amount of bleeding when rubbed against underwear. Bleeding is usually found when wiping with toilet paper after urinating, and there is generally no obvious pain. However, if venous thrombosis occurs in the caruncle, it can cause significant pain at the urethral opening. It is recommended to have a routine physical examination of the urethral opening to determine whether the urethral opening has any diseases such as polyps or polyps.

2. Mild urinary tract infection may also cause bleeding in the urine, which may be accompanied by mild urinary frequency, urgency, and inability to hold urine, but generally there is no significant pain. As the infection progresses, the pain becomes more pronounced and the level of blood in the urine also increases.

3. If the patient is very old, it is recommended to have a routine physical examination and B-ultrasound of the urinary and reproductive system to check whether there is a tumor in the urethra or bladder. When a tumor occurs in the bladder urethra or in the kidney or urethra, painless hematuria may occur in the early stages. Pain may then occur as the tumor grows and infringes on surrounding tissues.

It may be related to urinary stones. For example, when stones are discharged from the body through the urethra, they cause urethral damage. It may also be related to bladder disease. For example, space-occupying diseases. It may also be related to chronic kidney disease. It is recommended to go to a reliable tertiary or above hospital for an outpatient urology examination, which can include urine test, urinary system color Doppler ultrasound examination, renal function CT examination, and cystoscopy when necessary. Search for the cause of the disease and treat it with medicine. Men should pay attention to local hygiene and drink more water. Eat spicy foods such as spicy food.
