Patient's question:
Four months pregnant. Lately, I've eaten a lot of spicy food and instant noodles. My bowel movements have been bloody. There's also been a little blood when I urinate, but it's just a tiny amount, not much. Is it affecting the baby? I went to the bathroom twice today.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify your doubts. Eating too much spicy food can cause stomach upset, and it may lead to symptoms like constipation with blood again. However, blood in the urine is not normal. It's best to have a urine test done at the hospital to check kidney function and other aspects. Regular prenatal check-ups help understand the child's growth and development. I'm glad to help you clarify your doubts.
