A member asked:
When you take a urine sample for a urine analysis. can the lab or doctor tell the difference between period blood and other types of blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: The lab can often guess that blood is from your period. However, such a contaminated sample should not be submitted for urinalysis. Try for a clean catch even though it is difficult.
