Bloody Urine-Did I Do Right?

[LADoug1]

Last Saturday I met with a guy for the first time. We seemed attracted to each other , ok, it was a hook-up.

 

We were at his place. And in the course of human events, he indicated he would like to fellate me. Not wanting to be an ill-mannered guest, I agreed, and we went to his bedroom.

 

Matters proceeded as they will. It was feeling pretty good except for an occasional stinging somewhere in the area of my urethral meatus. I guess I should mention that while not normal for me, this was the fourth time I had been fellated in three days (I don't believe I've ever had this much oral in such a short time period since I quit hiring and used to go on weekend excursions with escorts). So the mild stinging sensation is somewhere in the head of my tallywacker, but it's diffuse. So I can't locate it exactly.

 

After we finished, I went to his bathroom to pee. I didn't look down into the bowl of the toilet immediately because my gut was in the way. But when I did there was bright red blood in the lower portion of the toilet where the water collects. It was quite shocking although I know it only takes a little bit of blood to make things extremely red in water. I then wiped myself with toilet paper and blood came away. I wiped a couple of more times and the blood tapered off and disappeared.

 

I'm a bit freaked. Considering the stinging and the fact that this was my fourth oral in three days, I'm thinking there is a good chance the urethral meatus either got irritated or cut by overzealous fellating or just too much fellatio in too short a time.

 

The other thing freaking me out was trying to decide whether to tell my new friend, Clarence.

I was fairly sure I'm negative disease-wise as I had had everything checked about a month ago. Plus I'm on PrEP. I normally use PrEP only as a secondary line of defense with condoms. But I had slipped up awhile back with a buddy whom I thought was also on PrEP. Turns out he had been on PrEP. But had lost his job/got a new one and was waiting for new insurance before re-starting PrEP. Chances were low that I had caught anything from him, but...

 

So I'm in a quandary about whether to tell Clarence. I know I'm probably 'healthy' but there's a risk-not just for HIV but for gonorrhea and chlamydia-of course that risk was there whether I had bled or not. It's also possible that I didn't bleed until I peed, and that he wasn't exposed to blood at all. And I know if I tell him, it's going to freak him out.

 

All this goes thru my mind in the 2 minutes that I'm in the bathroom.

 

I finally decide that it's dishonest if I don't tell him. So I did. He kept it together physically. But I was pretty sure on the inside he was freaked. I mean putting myself in his position-that's how I would feel if someone told me I might have swallowed a significant amount of blood.

 

We finished up pretty quickly at that point. As this was Saturday, I went directly to a hospital affiliated Urgent Care. They did all the routine tests. The results were just communicated to me. Disease-wise I seem to be negative. I've told Clarence and sent him copies of the lab reports.

 

So did I do right to tell, Clarence, or should I not have said anything and waited for the lab results before talking with him if necessary?

 

With the path I chose, I doubt we'll be meeting again.

Yes you did the right thing and it is commendable. Now see a doctor.

I doubt you are out of the woods. Go see a urologist immediately. You could be suffering from a bacterial infection. The bacteria could be in your renal system and not in your blood. Also, it could be a kidney stone. Blood in the urine is not good and you should seek an answer and treatment.

It was Clarence who was inconsistent with PreP. Not the OP.

 

No it wasn't Clarence. It was another guy.

Thank you all for the advice.

 

I'm saw my nurse practitioner yesterday. She's making a referral to a urologist.

Or, it could be as simple as a hernia.

 

Not to put fear in you, but please follow through with the urologist. The blood in my urine was bladder cancer. I was a smoker back then, and it's known to cause it. Had it twice. Finally gave up the cigarettes (not easy). Just had my latest cystoscopy / check-up a few weeks ago, and after 15 years following the 2nd bout, all good.
