Question : Yesterday I noticed some light brown discharge from my vagina after a bowel movement, it is still there when I push or if I insert tissue but not just when I wipe. I had sex over the weekend and had a light spot several hours later, then had sex the next day twice with n bleeding and the following day ( yesterday ) was when I noticed the discharge. I am now just half way through my cycle. If it were to be 28 days as it was this month. I had sex while I was still expelling old blood toward the end of my period also, not sure if I could have blood trapped.

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on health care magic.

Spotting in between menstrual cycle is due to trauma and inflammation at the entrance of vagina.
I suggest you to get yourself examined by a Gynecologist to detect exact site of bleeding.

Feel free to ask if you need further clarification. I will be happy to help.

regards,
Dr Nilofer
