Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 18 years old female and sexually not active. A month back, I woke up and peed straight up blood. I went to the ER and was diagnosed a bladder infection or UTI. I was prescribed Bactrim and the next day woke up with a rash. It turns out I was allergic. So, the next day I started a new medicine and took it for a few days. The blood stopped, but I felt pain, so I went back to the ER. They told me my UTI was gone and to stop taking the medicine. A few days later, I saw blood when I wiped after peeing, but it looks like it was in my discharge. It went on a few times, and I went back to the ER three days ago and said that I was peeing blood again. So, I am worried. I have not gotten my period this month, and no, I am not pregnant. I am a virgin. They said it was not a UTI and I was fine. I have had no pain or anything. Just now I peed and when I wiped there was blood in my discharge. It is not a lot but still freaks me out. I cannot tell if it is my period or something else. I have never had this happen before. My mother said that it is spotting but makes no sense to me.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

This is likely to be irregular shedding which can often occur in adolescence by mid-cycle in girls with secondary progesterone deficiency due to either delayed ovulation or stress-induced hormonal imbalances. You need to get a serum progesterone level done and if it is less than 21 ng/dl by day 21 of your cycle, then you may need cyclical progesterone therapy.

Thank you.
