Did Knee Replacement Surgery. Transferred Blood. Cramping, Bloody Mucus When Urinating. Is It Serious?
I had a total knee replacement surgery done on 2/25/13. I had to have 2 bags of blood transfered into me plus a bag of iron since then I just haven't felt right and now I'm cramping and have bloody mucus coming from my vagina when I urinatI had a radical hysterectomy 10 yrs ago. What may be going on ? I'm very scared that it's serious and I may die before my time. In only 51!

Hi and thanks for the query,
It might be very important to know exactly the origin of this mucus. A physician examination is required first to confirm its actually mucus or something else, and secondly to identify the actual source of the mucus. This discharge could be of vaginal origin or from urinary origin. Evaluation maroscopically its features, direct microscopic exams, cultures and sensitivity testing, histopathological analysis coupled with a scrupulous clinical review should be sufficient to orient diagnosis and make an appropriate treatment and follow up plan.
Booking an appointment with your gynecologist to me is the best option. Thanks and kind regards.

Hello,
You had Radical hysterectomy 10 years back and Total knee joint Replacement few months back. Now you have bloody mucus from the vagina while urinating.
Don't you have any vaginal discharge when you are not urinating?
Your present complaints need not have any connection with previous surgeries
It can be a UTI or vaginal infection or both.
You have to investigate your urine for UTI or vaginal smear for analysis.
Specific antibiotic, anti inflammatory, mild diuretic, vaginal douche or cream and medicines to arrest the bleeding will be useful.
Along with this if USG abdomen is done, the exact cause will be found out, then the treatment will be easy.
Mean while take plenty of water.
Best wishes
