hi there I have just been diagnosed with endo following a laparoscopy. I had bowel problems too (not rectal bleeding, but constipation/diarrhoea) first, then developed painful sex. I had a colonoscopy...

Hello, I started getting rectal bleeding when on a couple of months back and was told by GP that was definitely 'piles' - think that might be their standard answer!! Have also had long issues with...

oh no I just wrote a long post and lost it all I had a bad night last night - on and off the toilet, mostly wind and 'pooing' mucus with blood in it. The blood is bright red like my period blood. I've...

I just looked up the Bristol Stool chart and read some conflicting opinions. I had a type 4 today which is supposedly normal. I would have described it on the verge of diarrhea but it's apparently...

I know what you mean about this not being a great topic of conversation - I even try to avoid discussing with DH too much so as not to ruin my 'feminine mystique'!!!!! Not really sure I have a lot...

if you have been constipated have you thought about it maybe being an anal fissure? this is like a 'scratch' from the hard stool as it passes, which flares when you get constipated again (sorry, in my...

Thanks marysl, my doc did suggest a fissure the first time I went with the bleeding. I just don't like it that it's just happening during my period. I'd be happier if I bled when I suffer outside my...

Hi, It's been 2 months since I posted. I went back on the pill because my periods were unbareable and I wanted to see if the bleeding would stop from the bottom. I ran 2 packs together mainly so I...

Thanks for the encouragement. Really appreciate it. ct20 - I do have a fissure right at the entrance, but I find it hard to believe the blood is coming from there. I've had tears before and it's...
