Thread: Vaginal bleeding between period after UTI

We were on vacation last week and I had my period. Toward the end of my period I started having symptoms of a UTI. I've had a handful of them in the past and knew what it was right away. Because we were on vacation, I didn't go to the ER or doctor. Truth be told, I didn't want to take time out of our trip to do it. Instead, I bought cranberry juice and D-mannose (sp?) because I read about it online and it seemed like a good thing to take. When we got back home I went to the doctor right away and she confirmed the UTI and gave me a 5-day antibiotic. I had severe pain on and off for two days after I started taking the antibiotics. The pain and burning gradually went away.

It is now one week after I went to the doctor and suddenly I'm having some burning (not too bad) during urination. But I'm also experiencing vaginal bleeding and a mucusy discharge. And I'm having abdominal pain, though it's not too bad.

Here is some info about me:
I'm 36. I'm married and have a healthy sex life. We are monogamous so it's not an STD. I've had two children but my husband had a vasectomy so I'm not pregnant.

I'm a little freaked out by these symptoms. Very rarely have I ever bled between periods, and when I have, it's always a brownish discharge....very light. What I have now is almost as hard as a normal period. I generally have a thick discharge about two weeks after my period, when I'm ovulating. But it hasn't been two weeks yet, so I don't think that's it.

Any ideas?

Did this clear up for you? I'm having the same symptoms, since I was in a similar situation . Please help!
