Had LEEP Done. Intercourse Led To Pain. Had Blood Discharge After Emptying Bladder. What Now?
I had a LEEP done 7 months ago, and had been non sexually active until a month ago. During intercourse there was pain. After intercourse a few days later I started to have vaginal discharge , light/not cloudy yellow discharge, and it would leak out several times a day. It later became heavyier but then switched to a light blood discharge. At this time I had been on antibiotics , I am currently off of them now. For several weeks now I have had blood clots and bloody discharge after emptying my bladder and the feeling of a possible UTI (but that comes and go). I have had STD tests and everything was negative. What should I be concerned about at this point? ** I am deployed in Afghanistan, so the doctors here are not specialist, and havent given me much advice.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
The presence of vaginal discharge is suggestive of infection.
Examination of the vaginal discharge is required to look for evidence of infection.
A course of antibiotics will clear away infection if present.
As you have mentioned that you have already taken a course of antibiotics, the infection must have cleared away.
The problem of blood clots after urinating suggests a pathology in the urinary tract rather than in the reproductive tract.
A urine examination - routine and microscopy are required.
A cystoscopy to view the inner walls of the urinary bladder is required.
An ulceration, growth, papilloma or a cancerous lesion may be present and this is the cause of blood in urine.
You need to consult an urologist for cystoscopy.
Thanks and take care
