A member asked:

I'm due for my period today and i have brownish bloody discharge from my urethra. (yes it's from there i checked). i'm also having period like cramps.

Check with your doc: This is a strange finding worth looking into. Blood may be backing up into your urethra giving the idea that it is coming from there, though it actually originates from the vagina. If there is truly blood coming from the urethra a cystoscopy would be appropriate, done by a gynecologist or urologist.
