Dry vagina and foamy urine: Internal bleeding?

I eat the same things I always eat and am not a big eater. What I did add was flaxseed and chia seeds to my diet so I can get off of fiber pills. I don't have a GYN since I moved to GA. Will be calling my urologist back today after coming home from Atlanta. Last checkup on my cataract surgery. I only used the cream once so far. The blood transfusion and iron infusion I got was due to AVM's I have in my body and at that time did not know I was bleeding internally as I never saw blood so my CBC went way down and my primary doctor never did a CBC when he did my blood work and the ER doctor said that is the first thing a doctor should do when having blood work done. So now I see a hematologist every few months. I notice that my white blood cells and red blood cells tend to be low but not sure if it is all the meds I am on. I was told with the AVM's they could be anywhere in my body. I know I have them in my colon, and in my stomach and when the doctor told me about them I asked what to do and he said there is nothing you can do. They might bleed then stop. Evidently mine was bleeding slowly and I didn't know what was going on with me until I was having breathing problems and chest pains, so took myself to the ER and they admitted me.

@dablues I can’t believe this stuff happens. I am so sorry for your experience!

@dablues I don’t understand. ArterioVenousMalformations have a risk of rupturing and causing more harm. I have not heard of them leaking. You say you have many in your body? Are you sure they are properly diagnosed? If you have many the doctors should be concerned. A CBC(complete blood count) is a normal routine follow up for blood work. Your white blood cell count should remain low otherwise a high amount is indicative of a possible infection. If you are losing blood then you would have a low amount of red blood cells. Remember the red blood cells carry the oxygen so less would cause you to be tired. Your breathing problems may have resulted from the anemia. Hope this helps. Toni

Sorry @dablues, I wanted to ask how much flaxseed and chia seeds you consume daily? Have you discussed this with your doctor? Do you take a blood thinner pill daily? Flaxseeds and chia seeds can act as a blood thinner which will increase bleeding potential in your body. Toni
