[ashleyxmarie]

its most likely your period? you need to start wearing protection like a pad or a tampon..did u have cramps. or do u feel bloated

[metalbudderfly]

sounds to me you might have a urinary tract infection going on. i would really not mess around with that so i would recommend you see your doctor on this one.

[xwishbearx88]

well now it stopped..i have no clue wats going on here...

[metalbudderfly]

it still might be an infection going on. have you taken any type of medication latley? i know some things can cause dicoloration of your urine. do you have any kind of pain or feel like you have to pee all the time and only a little comes out or nothing comes out? well i hope you get this figured out. by all means if this worries you then call your doctor.....

i felt like that the day it happen but not anymore..i dont know it hasnt happen since then so i think everything is okay.

No - if you were peeing blood you should call the doc and they'll just make you pee in a cup and check it right there for infection. You can also buy a UTI test in the drugstore, AZO is the brand, I think, that makes them.

UTI's can present with no pain - I get tons of pain, but no blood, my sister gets blood but no pain. All I mean is that just because it hasn't happened since, doesn't mean it isn't still lurking around. Untreated UTIs lead to kidney infections.

PLEASE, get seen by a doctor. UTI 's are NOTHING to play around with. In 2001, I had a kidney infection. No really telling symptoms, just a mild burning when I peed. I didn't go to a Dr. because I dismissed it. 2 weeks later, I was in the hospital fighting for my life. I was in full renal failure and had to rely on dialysis to stay alive. Both of my kidneys had little more than 18% usage, my fever was 103.9, I had lost 20 pounds in a week, due to the pukey feeling... By the time that I DID go see a Dr. , They just thought that I had sprained my back and that nothing was really wrong... Imagine the surprise of the Dr. seeing me wheeled in by the EMT's semi alive... I had blacked out getting ready for work, fell hit my head on the door frame and landed on marble tiled flooring... So on top of kidney failure, I had a broken nose, a huge bruise across my face and 2 fat lips...

Moral of the story... GO SEE A DR. no matter how trivial you think it is... Your health should be the most importent thing to you... Be safe rather than sorry
