I've gone to the toilet twice in an hour, and both times I've noticed light pink on the tissue. My period isn't due for another 15 days, so I'm a bit worried. Could this be something I should be concerned about?

Experiencing light pink discharge on tissue after urinating, not associated with your menstrual period, could be indicative of various conditions, such as urinary tract infection (UTI), kidney stones, vaginal discharge, or hormonal changes; however, it's essential to consult your primary care physician or a gynecologist to rule out any underlying infections or conditions that may require medical attention.
