Hi,

I'm male and 18 years old.
Today, when i woke up.. I pissed out a bit of blood.. Not a lot but just a few drops..
I was quite shocked!!

What could be the cause of this?!
It really stung too when i was urinating. I usually get this ticklish feeling when i urinate straight after masturbating.. Not sure if that could be the cause. Plus I've been masturbating regularly for the past 2 years :/ My diet is quite bad but my fitness is really good! I don't smoke, i don't take drugs or anything..

It's probably a water infection. See your GP.

It's called a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). It is quite common and is cause by bacteria invading the urethra. If the bleeding were light pink then your system could fight off the infection - just drink lots of water (some recommend cranberry juice).
Since you are noting that you are seeing red blood then you need to see your general doctor. She will have you go into a private bathroom and pee into a small cup for a test sample. They will then test for bacteria and prescribe antibiotics which will treat the infection.
Please note that although a UTI is fairly common and often your system will fight it off without prescriptions, it is not something to be ignored. If the infection spreads up your urinary tract it will infect your bladder and your kidneys and could result in them being damaged to the point where your system will shut down.
See your doctor asap and when making the appointment inform the person that you are suffering from a UTI and are in severe pain. It's a quick exam and the treatment is simple, but get a professional diagnosis.

Yes, but I'm sure you get to choose the gender of the doctor that you see in the NHS.

Like everyone else said, see a doctor and don't hang around. It's unlikely to be anything serious, yet.

It's possible your masturbations have been too violent and you damaged som blood vessels or summat in your nob

I've had a urine infection before and I never had to get it out for the GP :P I believe I just gave a urine sample.

Not a nice thing to have. Go see your GP, get some anti-biotics and I hope it clears up quickly

Get some antibiotics as quickly as you can. They usually say drink plenty of water and cranberry juice for some reason.

I had this - it's a water infection. It got that bad because I left it for a week hoping it would go away, and when I started pissing blood, that's the point when I went to see a doctor!

I didn't have to do a sample, and I didn't have to show anything. He did massage my lower abdomen to find out how painful it was, and he deduced that the infection had reached my kidneys which is what caused the blood.

All sorted after 4 days on antibiotics.

My friend has that, it was some kind of rare cancer of the penis and prostate

Unlikely unless your penis is likely to be damaged or suffering trauma in some way, or you might have picked up an STI. More likely is that you'll have to urinate into a bottle and they'll stick a swab in it to see what's happening.

Get yourself down the the doctor. The most likely cause is a urinary tract infection or possibly an STI. You'll probably have to give a urine sample but I doubt they would have to actually examine you're penis

some people say cranberry juice affects the lining of the urethra making it more difficult for the bacteria to adhere because its more slippery

it'll probably be a common misconception though

I had a doctor tell me to drink 1lL a day for a week and I hate the stuff so I hope there is some truth in it.
