Patient's question:
Previously, due to gastrointestinal issues, my menstrual cycle was disrupted. Starting from last Tuesday and Wednesday, there has been a very small amount of blood when wiping after urination. I want to ask if this could be related to my period?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the age of menarche is around twelve to fourteen years old. Since you are only fifteen, it is possible that the instability of hormone secretion in your body, with larger fluctuations, may lead to menstrual irregularities. It is recommended that you always maintain emotional stability, pay attention to rest, avoid overworking, and determine whether the blood is coming from the urethra or the vagina. If it is coming from the vagina, it means your period is approaching, and you should pay attention to menstrual hygiene. If it is coming from the urethra, you need to consider whether a urinary tract infection has occurred. In that case, you should go to a regular hospital's urology department to test your urine for a proper diagnosis.
