A member asked:

I noticed a trace amount of blood in my urine before menstration. is this bad?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not urine: The blood you see is probably not from urine but from the menstrual cycle itself. That being said, i can't think of any relationship between menstruation and actual hematuria.
