Hello,

Thank you for choosing DoctorSpring.

I am sorry to hear about this incident and I will try my best to help you out there.

The kind of trauma you had is called blunt genitourinary injury. The blood in the urethral meatus could be due to a injury in the urethral tract or bladder. Most cases this is not serious and can be easily treated. However is some cases this could mean a more serious injury to the urinary tract which might require intervention. You should get medical help as soon as possible. You can go to the ER or a centre which has Urologist available.

You will require a set of tests to identity this - which will include a Xray of the pelvis, Urine Analysis, Retrograde urethrogram, Retrograde cystogram and IVP. Not all tests are required and it has to be decided by your Urologist after a Physical examination.

It is better not to delay approaching your Doctor as delayed treatment can lead on to complications.
I will keep this consult open so that you can get back to me if there is persistent or new symptoms.

Hope this helps
Feel free to ask followup questions / clarifications.
Thank you
Dr.DS Sebastian
