Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have had a small urethral caruncle. My former gynecologist saw it but was not concerned. A year back, it started bleeding, and I had to see my primary care doctor. He said it was seeping some blood from the tiny clot that had formed. There was no internal bleeding. He did a Pap smear as a precaution. He said it should clear up in 2 to 3 days or occasionally spot at times. Yesterday I had some light tiny blood droplets, very minimal, in my underwear. It is from the caruncle. I also just got over a UTI. Is there anything I can do? Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The tiny blood spots the taking of the caruncle are definitely from the infection. When you are going out for vacation, no intervention is required apart from medicines so that in an emergency, you can use those medicines. As you have a history of UTIs (urinary tract infections), I suggest you, please have plenty of fluids in juices or soups. Try to clean your private parts with an antiseptic solution diluted in water after every urination. Whenever you get blood spots, I suggest you have tablet Trenaxae 500 mg (tranexamic acid) thrice a day for three days. I hope this helps.

Thank you.
