What Causes Sticky Discharge With Blood After Taking Medicines For Kidney Infection?

I had a kidney infection and went to the hospital on Dec. 12. I thought it was kidney stones because I had pain in my left kidney where I have had a stone before and blood in my urine. Found out it was an infection. I was given cephalexin Monohydrate. 10 days, four days pills a day. Sympton cleared up in a few days. I took all the meds and now a week later when I use the bathroom there is a gooey discharge with blood in it. Not a lot of blood but there is some. Could it be a reaction to the meds or do I have a UTI infection again?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You can do a repeat urine routine and culture to look for any persistent infection. As of now nothing much to worry and just drink plenty of water. Antibiotics is not relays it can be sloughed off material from the previous infection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
