For reasons that you surely would rather not know, I found myself googling “mucus in stool.” The third link was to a site that described various causes for this condition, ranging from bacteria to Crohn’s disease.
The page is illustrated with a picture of a conventionally attractive young woman who’s apparently just stepped out of the shower. Her hair is wet. Her front is covered (modestly or coquettishly?) with a white towel. Her naked back is visible to the viewer. There’s a link to enlarge the image. If you click it, you get an embiggened version under the title “Mucus in the Stool.”
I’ve been trying to dream up a possible connection between a naked woman and any sort of digestive abnormality. And no, this isn’t a scat fetish site. Maybe they’re just trying to make the subject matter more, um, palatable?
I guess you truly can sell anything – even information on weird poop – with a naked woman.

Maybe the idea is that she just found mucus in her stool. That might be why she has that pensive look on her face.
I’m not sure it explains the post-shower wetness, though!
My guess — In the search field for some stock image service, somebody enters “attractive woman just crapped”. “Your search yielded zero results.” “Attractive woman bathroom.” “You have 2,647 results.” If it’s something like this, I have the same question you do — why start with “attractive woman”. How about “Dirty fat old man just crapped.” That would be an image that persists in the memory!
How about a simple mistake?
Sure, a mistake is always possible. It’s just striking that such mistakes rarely occur with semi-naked, sexualized male bodies. (And no, I’m not saying the world would be a better place if both sexes were subjected to this sort of mass-media sexualization.)
