Vaginal Bleeding During Bowel Movement, Removed IUD
for the last two months every time I have a bowel movement there is brown\red blood in my vagina when I wipe and while I am not on my period. I had an IUD in for over a year and the last six months I have had bacterial infections. I had the IUD removed last week. Last pap smear was 4 months ago and is was normal. When I had my IUD taken out I forgot to mention it to my Dr.,but she said everything looked fine. What could it be?

Hi there.
Have you had any irregular menstrual cycles ?
Any white discharge or itching in vagina ?
Usually one of the commonest complications of IUD is bleeding. In some cases, hormonal disturbances or infections can cause bleeding not in your cycle. It would be wise to consult your Doctor to get you examined for any infections or menstrual disorders. You period shall become regular in a few weeks. If not you may get a trial for OC pills to regularize your cycles. Keep proper hygiene. Practice safe sex.
