I started VSL3 - DS last week and blood is reduced. However it is not helping me with mucus and frequency. When I go to pee and it leaks out. Is there anything I can do reduce these symptoms?

Rectal meds. Mesalamine enemas would be a good start.

You're flaring....you need rectal meds to deal with the inflammation that will be there. I'd suggest mesalamine enemas....but at the very least to use suppositories at least twice a day.

you could consider to add fibre supplement as well...start slow.
