I have chronic UTI's for several years and take antibiotics when necessary. I had a bad fall 7 mos. ago and a big bruise on the left side of my lower abdomen. I also noticed that after voiding I sometimes have blood-tinged mucus in my urine. My doc didn't seem concerned about that. A month or so later I began to notice a small pink blood stain coming from my vagina and this occurs once a month for a couple of days. I have gone through menopause. I am dealing with so many other illnesses that I haven't gone to the gyn mostly because of fear.

I know how you feel. I felt the same way. When I was spotting blood from my vagina I went to gynecologist who determined after a biopsy that it was a polyp. I had it removed and it turned out to be just that. I was not cancer. Sometimes we worry for nothing. Although the doctor said not to worry and that if it happened again to then go to gynecologist but I didn't want it on my mind so I went as soon as he could take me and I'm glad I did.

Hi @shoregal45,

Welcome to Connect; I see you've connected with @tropicallady1276, who I would like to sincerely thank for sharing information and especially for the insight.

I found this discussion on Connect that might interest you, "female frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs),"
http://mayocl.in/2oXAKjp...and I'd like to ask @dawn_giacabazi, one of Connect's Mentors, if she has any thoughts?

@shoregal45, has your physician ruled out any medications, or polyps/fibroids, that could be causing the spotting?
Since you mentioned that you are dealing with other illnesses, may I ask if you would share your concerns about those conditions?

I think I may have polyps which seem to fit into my symptoms. I will be going to the doctor. Thank you for your interest.

@shoregal45, Good for you! With the frequency of your occurrences and other health issues, I think you are a wise woman to consult with your doctor about this.
Wishing you the best.
Rosemary
