A member asked:

One month since mirena (levonorgestrel) insertion and the only time i have vaginal bleeding is after a bowel movement. i also have bloody mucous. any thoughts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unsure: Where is the blood coming from? You should not be having blood coming from the rectum. Bloody mucous from the vagina is not that unusual after a mirena (levonorgestrel). See your provider and get this checked out!
