Bleeding from vagina after a bowel movement!

Hi all. I am looking for advice as I am freaking out. Quick background - 30 year old female, mother of 2. (Youngest is 2 years old) both delivered by emergency c section. No previous medical conditions. I last had a smear test done in January 2020 and result came back normal. For the last 6 months or so my periods have been Irregular and most recently I have been spotting a lot in between periods. I have also discovered the connection that every time I have a bowel movement I bleed from my vagina!! I can't find any other explanation for this other than cervical cancer! Anyone experienced this?? TIA!

  • Hi! I stumbled across this post looking for advice, as I wondered whether anyone else had experienced this. Fills me with hope to see that I am not on my own. 

    So sorry that this is happening to all you other ladies and hope you all get an answer :love:

    Mine started only a few days ago after a bowel movement and it frightened me when I looked down and saw the bleeding, as this has never happened before. Had another bowel movement last night, and there it was again just as I thought it was clearing up. 

    I have booked an appointment with my GP today, so fingers crossed they can give me some answers. 

    Really appreciate seeing all of your posts!

  • Hi

    Just wondering how you got. I'm having the same problem. Has only happened over the last week. Not sure how worried to be. 
    Thanks x

  • Hi all, 

    i have experienced the same over the past three days. I have been struggling with severe constipation over the last 3 months and then this week this started happening. I'm terrified of going to the loo, and my lower abdomen is quite bloated. I'm going to A&E in the am but I'm just so scared this is something serious. 
    Good luck to you all and let's keep each other posted.

  • Hi msworried, 

    Hope everything is okay. 

    Did you manage to go to A&E? 

  • I have had horrendous chronic constipation since I was born so I know what it's like. I've only been to the toilet 3 times this year and altogether it added up to around one normal days poo to a reguar person. I've been having problems on n off with the bleedings. I recently came off her as it wasn't agreeing with the neuropsychology I have everywhere but I passed 2 malteser sized plops is best o describe and when I wiped from the front it was a lot of red blood. I haven't had a sexual partner in 16 years because of this problem. I always seem to have BV or antibiotics for an infectection ten before a week or so, I'm getting symptoms of BV again. I'm afraid to see the Dr about this because I have much worse things going on and TBH I don't think I want to know. I'm on my own. I have no help or support and my mum, aunt and cousin all passed away within the last 6 years. If it was going to off me, I think I'd have been dead long ago so plz I don't have good experiences with Dr's, hosptals and nurses. I'm so confused. I feel like a bolt of lightning has jolted me back to gained weight after losing 5.5 stone. Everything bloody hurts. I am on my last nerve with everyone around me. Nobody listens to me and it's a problem. Could something be prolopsed or polyps. Nearly killed her 1st time with cancer. I'm scared. Any advice please???  

  • It sounds like you may have some sort of prolapse or fistula - whcih means the poo is going somewhere rather than it should be, and this pressure is causing the issues with your vagina or urinary tract.

    I would 100% go to your doctor!  Please tell them that you are expering only 3 bowel movements a year (this is enough to warrant an urgent investigation) and might require surgery, or a device that helps lift the prolapse. Both of which will help you no end. Take care.

  • Hi, I’ve been reading all these posts because I’ve been bleeding from my vagina when I poo. I am 70, had a total hysterectomy when I was 40, so I no longer have a womb, ovaries or cervix. I’ve been examined and had an ultra sound and bloods done to check for inflammatory markers, apparently all clear. The bleeding is getting worse, and I’m experiencing bloating, and period type pains. I know I have to go back to the dr but am frightened about what it is.
