Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Such vaginal discharge may not be due to any illness but it may be due to residual blood in uterine cavity might coming out at the time of exerting the force looking to your age it may be possibly happening, over all it is nothing to worry it may last for few cycles and will end soon.
Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
