I am a 26 year old female. I ve had a tubal 2 years ago and about 6 months ago I had a hernia surgery above my belly button. Recently in the past few months, I have had 3 UTI s. After these were cleared up, I began to have small brown clots with a stringy mucus attached when I urinated and wiped. But, after testing, my urine is clear of infection. I now have severe back and side pain a long with cloudy, foul smelling urine. On top of all that, I usually start my period on the 1st of each month and my periods have always been extremely heavy . Since the first of this month, I have only bled slightly and the blood is dark brown with black tar like clots. I am waiting on a doctors appt next week but in the mean time, I d like to know what could be causing all this. Please help?
