Bleeding from urethra after sex

Posted by anonymousconcerns @anonymousconcerns, Feb 23 12:42am

I have never had blood come out of my penis before so I’m terrified. I had sex tonight and during ejaculation I felt a pain in my penis and the ejaculation no longer felt good. Then I went to urinate and noticed blood on my leg but not my penis, so I knew it wasn’t hers, and then I noticed blood come out with the beginning of the urine stream. It cleared up and was just urine pretty quickly, however the blood seemed to collect at the tip again a short time later. Do I need to go to the hospital? Why is this happening? My lower stomach has been making noises since and I’m nauseous, I don’t know if it’s related or if I’m just rattled about blood coming out my penis. I’m 26 by the way and any insight would be great as I’m scared shitless

Small amounts of blood are often not serious but personally I wouldn't assume that. I would want to rule out it being serious. I would go have it checked out and even though they may not have an answer they should know if it's serious or not. I had blood I believe 9 times. 8 times were expected (kidney stone surgeries) once was a kidney infection. Always better to check things out sooner than later.
Best of luck ,

My doctor says sometimes sex can cause this. I would get a urinalysis as a follow up

What’s your definition of small amounts

My answer was misleading I guess. Right after kidney stone surgery my blood was significant but after awhile I had blood but it was only seen under a microscope. Then it was just a waiting game. I might've taken antibiotics at that point for my kidney infection but I don't remember. I had blood after my kidney stones, it just went away in a week or so. I guess I would define small as only able to be seen under a microscope or with a test strip.
But I knew where all the blood was coming from. If I hadn't known, I certainly would've gone to the doctor as soon as I could. I'm a better safe than sorry kind of guy I guess.
