Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Hymen cannot be broken if you had your clothes on, nor can the mucosa be scratched.
Remaining menstrual blood is a possibility if you had such symptoms earlier in the past, have you had them ?
Do you have burning while urinating, urge to frequently pass urine, pain in lower abdomen etc.
Are you still continuing to spot , when was your last proper period ?
Any itching, redness or foul smelling discharge ?
Please let me know these details, so that I can guide you better.
Take care.

this rubbing and stimulation happened yesterday and i stopped bleeding on tuesday.period started on 15th.,last month started on 14th.
Generally i bleed 4-6 days but lately its 3-5 daysmax. I had an urge to pass urine(generally too),pain is there below the navel in the entire lower body and lower back.Assumed it to be because of being turned on.So had a crocin in the morning.
Today again had the blood like spot but couldn't discriminate because of the garment colour.But a lot of pain while moving also.Have a burning sensation too..2 hours back,i touched and saw the red/brown mucus in vagina. Btw,my serum calcium is 8.2(normal 8.9-10.1)having calcium tabs,got an ultrasound done lately for dysmennorhoea like problem but everything is normal.Testosterone levels are normal too.
hope there's nothing to worry?

Detailed Answer:
I think that you are having a UTI.
The burning, pain, and urgency in urine strongly point to that.
Just drink lots of water ( 5 - 6 litres ) per day.
Avoid using soaps, cleansers, gels, douches on the private parts, just clean with lukewarm water and XXXXXXX dry gently.
Stop handling yourself there.
Have you been sexually active in the past ?
I would strongly recommend that you submit your early morning midstream urine sample for routine microscopy analysis and a urine culture.
That would confirm the diagnosis of a UTI, if one exists.
Take care.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again.
Good to hear that you are better.
IT must be the beginning of a mild infection, that often resolves with hydration and rest.
However, submitting a urine sample for evaluation is always a good precautionary measure.
Take care.
