Brief Answer:
Bacterial vaginosis

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Normal vaginal pH is acidic because of normal bacterial Flora called as lactobacilli. When this normal Flora is altered by some reasons other anaerobic bacterias will increase in vagina causing infection (vaginitis).
I have made it simple for you to understand.This condition is bacterial vaginosis.
There can be associated urinary infection and that could be the reason for blood in urine.
you need to test your urine and take appropriate treatment.
Your partner will also need treatment.
