Brief Answer:
This could be an infection. Get evaluated.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this brown discharge and the frequent bowel movements. This is suggestive of a possible infection of the lower digestive tract. I will suggest that you get at least a stool exam and also examination of the anal area and the rectum. I will strongly recommend that you take an appointment with your primary care doctor to start this process.

Let me know if this works for you. I wouldn't want to see this treated blindly. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
