I am post menopausal (had no problems with menopause at all and it finished about 4 or 5 years ago), and have just been diagnosed with viral bronchitis... sometimes the mucus I cough up is so think it s chunky. For the past 10 days I have coughed violently, sometimes for many hours at a time, so much so that it s been hard to keep from peeing in my clothes or pajamas when I cough. (I went to the doctor two days ago and am working on the bronchitis now.) This morning when I peed, I noticed a little burning at the end of urination. Then for a little while I felt like I really had to pee again right away. But little pee came out. The next time I peed there was a little pink on the toilet paper. Then I looked in the toilet and saw a small red discharge, kind of like I used to see when I had my period. I haven t bled since end of menopause. Could the extreme coughing have caused a tear in something? Please help me not to freak out. Thanks
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you are having UTI (urinary tract infection). And UTI is most commonly seen with bacterial infection. So your viral bronchitis and UTI are two different things. Another possibility is renal stone. As you are having bleeding in urine. So get done urine examination and ultrasound abdomen for diagnosis. You may need antibiotic.
