Concerned: The question is where is the blood and mucous originating----vaginal or rectal or remotely from bladder. As you can see there are multiple possibilities and you really need to see your doctor to sort this out. I am wondering if it is from your rectum and do you have other symptoms of irritable bowel or inflammatory bowel??
