Pee & Urine Issues - Pain, Bed-Wetting, Amount & Frequency / Question
Published: June 3, 2003
Dear TeenHealthFX,
I need to urinate more than usual, and when I do I am bleeding and it hurts. Do you happen to know what the cause of this might be?

Dear Urinating More & Bleeding - Cause?,
Unfortunately, TeenHealthFX cannot diagnose you over the Internet. It is very important that you make an appointment with a doctor. If you do not have a doctor and you live in Northern New Jersey, please call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at (973) 971.6475. If you live elsewhere, get in touch with your local adolescent health center or clinic.
We can tell you that it sounds like you may have a urinary tract infection. If that is the case, it is easily treatable with antibiotics, as long as you visit a doctor as soon as possible.
