Hello 

I am looking for some advice, nearly every time I have a bowel movement I notice that when I wil my vagina it comes away pink, this has been happening for a while now and have been tested for bowel cancer and have also been examined and all seems ok with my vagine, I am 49 years old and I am very worried as to what this could be, so any suggestions would be great fully received 

  • Hello and thank you for your post.

    I am afraid that no one here can tell you if anything is the matter.

    I think that if the pink discharge persists that it would be a good idea to go back and let your GP know. While I cannot know where the bleeding is coming from it is possible that it could be coming from another area other than your vagina or bowel. If it is, this still does not make it likely that you have cancer. It might also be some thing that is caused by hormone levels in you body.

    I hope you are able to find out more and that you will be okay.

    Take care,

    Caroline
