I'm on medical leave for 2 days.
Reason? Sebab suka tahan kencing.
No joke. It has become a habit that I always delay 'that' business.
Until Wednesday, I felt pain while urinating in the morning. A throbbing pain but not too severe.
By noon - it got worse. But I was too busy to dwell in the pain anyway.
But I noticed that I frequently went to the toilet. Like, few times in an hour. Now that is odd.

I got home that evening and just lied on the bed, shortly after, husband came home and found me in pain. I told him that it's painful 'down there'. He urged me to go to the clinic but I said maybe it was just symptoms of PMS.
I went to pee again, and found blood in my urine.
Husband got panic and dramatic, immediately had me dressed up and dragged me to the clinic.

According to the doctor, hematuria is not normal but is common among women as compared to men.
One of the reason is because we women tend to refrain from urinating especially when the toilet condition is...... you know..
So it cause the bladder to get infected, which then cause the bleeding. Other reasons are hygiene.
IT CAN GET WORSE if the infection spread to your kidney (Na'udzubillah).
But Alhamdulillah, since mine was only infection to the bladder, I got antibiotic and urine alkaline to neutralise my urine.

So, don't tahan kencing for your health's sake. I swear it' so painful that I pray no one have to undergo the same pain as I did.
Take care, people!

See, even Batman can get hematuria!
