Hi! I'm quite confused but I think I know what it is already. Half wondering if anyone's gone through a similar issue.
So I go to use the restroom; no incidence, discharge on pad (par for the course), and I begin to urinate. The first thing I notice is that it's going everywhere (I'm just over a month post, I understand why) however I notice that instead of urine, its blood! It's definitely at least half blood half urine because it looked like I had cranberry juice in the toilet. No fun. Subsequent times visiting the can, my maxi pads show no signs of blood, but alas I seem to be full of cranberry juice still. Strange thing: no pain, no foul smell, nothing to indicate a UTI, but speaking to a nurse she tells me that's most certainly what I'm dealing with. (I'm definitely wobbling over to urgent care in the morning.) If this indeed a UTI, is this on the more severe end of an infection? Is it really so easy to get these? Where'd the blood come from?! (There doesn't seem to be any tearing of the urethral opening, afaik or see.) We'll see what the doc says...blarg.
Candidly, I'm just terrified of blood and to have it come out of a place you really had hoped didn't bleed any more than it had to....
