What Could Be Brown Discharge After Bowel Movement?
Hi. I have just finished my menstrual cycle. However, after a bowel movement I am experiencing brown discharge. This has happened to me in the past after a menstrual cycle for a few days then I get another period. I haven t gotten another period yet but am wondering why i am getting brown discharge only after bowel movement. I am 49 years old
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.
