I also have pain with every bowel movement during my period, and have had rectal bleeding for the last 20 years (only during period). I had a laparoscopy & hysteroscopy to check for endometriosis about 15 years ago which was negative. The doc put me on the pill which helped a lot to ease period pain but the rectal bleeding continued. About 3 years ago i stopped taking the pill to give my body a break from the synthetic hormones and moved onto chinese herbs. That helped for about a year, then my period pain started getting stronger again. I went for a colonoscopy about a year ago to check again for endometriosis, again it was negative. I felt so frustrated! Now i'm trying a hormone balancing herb called chaste tree which i'm hoping will improve my pain at least. If this doesn't work then i'm not sure where to turn next, but one thing i'm sure of is i wont give up, as severe period pain and rectal bleeding is definitely not normal.
I have had this same problem for 20 years. I had the mirena coil fitted four years ago whilst being checked for endo, the consultant told me I had a very small amount of of endo but not enough to diagnose me with the condition. The mirena stopped the anal bleeding whilst menstruating and my periods are very light now. Have bad acne with it though.
I've always had a little rectal bleeding and blood in my stool during my period. I was even told in high school by my health teacher that it is perfectly normal. I've only learned recently that women are very worried by this.
This is obviously not normal. I have had this issue for several years now. My gynecologist told me that she has seen this before and to just "leave it alone and don't mess with it" She has since retired. When I use a tampon there is no rectal bleeding which leads me to believe that there HAS TO BE a small fistula somewhere between the vagina and the rectum. I am seeing a new gynecologist next month and having a colonoscopy this month. I will update when I have results. There is no way this is related to a hemorrhoid or endometriosis.
anyways i didnt get my second period until just a bit under a month afterwards. (13/8/2015)
so my second period lasted for 4 days and then i was like YAY ITS OVER!!!
And then i got my period AGAIN 4 days later...
But now when i go to the toilet to do a number 2 (because i feel so sick), i end up just bleeding into the toilet!?!?!
Its really confusing and scary but this has only been happening for 1 and a half days now.
What do i do!??!?!?!
