Why does a woman not have blood when she urinates but finds blood when she wipes it?

No matter men, women, or children, a lot of urine is discharged from the body every day. Some women find that there is no blood in their urine when they urinate, but there is a lot of blood when they wipe it with paper. They are worried about their physical condition and worried about suffering from more serious diseases. If women have this situation when urinating, they must pay attention to it and go to the hospital for examination in time.

Why does a woman urinate without blood but wipes it and sees blood?

In this case, the bleeding does come from the urethra. First of all, we should consider the inflammatory exudate and urethral polyps in the urinary tract, and the small amount of bleeding caused by capillary rupture due to local stimulation during urination. Secondly, consider that the blood comes from the vagina. A small amount of vaginal bleeding during the non-menstrual period should be considered as inflammatory erosion of the cervix, inflammation of the endometrium, etc. The clinical diagnosis should be determined based on a comprehensive assessment of the color and amount of bleeding. It is recommended to perform urinary tract B-ultrasound, urine routine, gynecological routine examination, and gynecological B-ultrasound testing to confirm the diagnosis.

What are female urethral polyps

Female urethral polyps are also often considered to be a benign tumor occurring in the urethra. They are manifested as a tumor-like tissue that appears in the female urethra, especially at the urethral opening. They are also called vascular polyps or urethral granulations. However, this type of urethral polyp rarely becomes cancerous and is roughly divided into three types: papilloma type, granuloma type, and hemangioma type.

Causes of female urethral polyps

It is generally believed that the onset of female urethral polyps is due to a severe decrease in estrogen, while urethral polyps in young women are mostly caused by some gynecological diseases, or they do not pay attention to hygiene, causing the urethral opening to be frequently contaminated with leucorrhea, menstrual blood, etc. Over time, this leads to repeated inflammation, which in turn causes urethral polyps.

What are the symptoms of female urethral polyps

In addition to finding polyps and lumps, women with urethral polyps may also experience local pain and bleeding, as well as burning pain during urination.

How to treat female urethral polyps

If there are no symptoms, no special treatment is needed. Using some estrogen ointment for external application will have a better effect. However, if it is a symptomatic urethral polyp, you cannot be careless. It is best to choose surgical treatment. If the polyp is small, no more than one centimeter, it can be treated with laser. If it is larger, it must be surgically removed.
