Irritation: you can often have some residual blood which turns brown after a period and with the "fingering" it probably just opened the vagina so the old discharge could come out It is very usual for that to happen If there is a foul odor discharge or pain or increased discharge then go to your provider

Old blood: It appears that you just had some old blood left in the back of the vagina from your period that needed to come out. The digital manipulation of the vagina likely facilitated that.

Old blood: This is old blood that was sitting in the vagina that was "stirred up" by the manual manipulation- remnants of your last period.
