What Is Causing This Bleeding ?!


Question: What Is Causing This Bleeding .?
I'm 57 and haven't had a period in three years. I recently had a UTI and to prevent recurrence the doctor recommended the following: d-Mannose twice a day, 12,000 mg(each) of cranberry and Vitamin C a day, four glasses of cranberry juice a day, and two alka seltzer a day. It's been a month and I haven't had recurrence but my vulva has become so irritated! The skin feels like it's cracking open and when I wipe there is often crusty looking blood. I never see any blood in the toilet, I'm not having any UTI symptoms. Could it be the acid in the things I'm taking.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
It may be that after you stop ovulating and having monthly cycles the lack of hormones make you 'dry up' so to speak! So maybe you need some kind of lubrication down there but i would certainly speak to your Dr. xHealth Question & Answer

I would suggest getting back to ur GP. It could be any number of things, but you definitely need it checked out. I wouldn't think the blood is menstrual but to do with the infection. I have a family member that suffers similarly, and they discovered that her urinary tract had started to collapse, hence the infections and pain etc. They done a small procedure and inserted a tube like device to keep the tract stable. I'm not saying that this is what you have but it is worth going to be checked outHealth Question & Answer

That was my first thought. See your Doctor anyway.Health Question & Answer
