I get this a lot around my periods!

It might be how I realise I've started or I'll think I've finished and then I'll go for a poo and "hello!" not finished just yet!

I just put it down to the fact it's all in the same area it's bound to have an effect on one another. Same way I get constipated around my periods or the dreadful "period poos ".

I can't say I've ever mentioned it to a dr or anything.

I had my smear recently and have abnormal cells (very common and rarely turn into cancer). Should be having another appointment in the next 4-6 weeks. I'll try and remember to ask!

Sorry if this is a bit gross :laugh:

I don't have a monthly cycle any more but I did have a hernia surgery a few months ago do you think that could need looking at or shell I just leave it and see what happens next time I have a poo and see when I wipe my Vigina and it happens again I should call the doctor.

Hi Diane and welcome to Cancer Chat.

I just wanted to let you know that HRW hasn't been on the forum since May last year so you may not hear back from them.

I hope your symptoms have improved since making this post but if they haven't and you're still concerned, do be sure book an appointment with your GP as they are in the best position to answer your questions and put your mind at ease.

Fingers crossed everything will be o.k Diane.

All the best,

Hi, 

I don't know if any of you are still active on this post, but I've been getting blood after pooping for a while now (5/6 months) I recently found out I have CIN3 pre-cancerous cells on my cervix, but never really put 2 and 2 together with the bleeding after a poop.... I've got a loop biopsy on the 16th of this month, could the blood mean it could have already turned into cancer??? 
 

hope there's someone still here to advise me! 
thanks 

Hi Kayye, I have never missed a smear so was surprised when in March I had severe abnormal cells and required urgent treatment! I had lletz treatment a couple of months ago and it was cin3.  Apparently all was removed and am due my next follow up smear in September.  The bleeding from the treatment lasted about 6weeks, however, I've noticed that now I too start spotting with a bowl movement and I also have that end of period brown smudgy bleeding a week or so before my actual period comes in. It's started again this morning after a number two so I née to wait to see what happens before going back to the gp. I have a rectocele hernia and have been pregnant 5 times and given birth twice- the most recent was just over two years ago, so I'm not sure what is going on. I could also be winding towards being perimenopausal. I did have some poop vag bleeding before but put it down to the hernia. I had no other symptoms so I was very surprised at the cin3 diagnosis,  hell- the abnormal cells part was just as much a shock. You won't know for sure until they biopsy the tissue, but the chances are generally low. I won't say don't worry because that's completely what we do, but I'll ask you to write it down and ask the consultant this when you go in. That way you will have some peace of mind. I can't find the answer online, so I guess it's because it's an individual thing, but if you could, would you let me know what you find out and how you get on? There needs to be more talk on this sort of thing so we don't suffer in silence. I hope you get a positive outcome!!

Welcome to the forum Kayy86 although I'm sorry about your symptoms and for the worry they and your latest cervical screening results are causing.

I do hope you hear back from some of our more recent members on this thread but if you'd like to talk through your thoughts and concerns with one of our cancer nurses, then do give them a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they'll do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease.

We're thinking of you Kayyy and wishing you all the best for the 16th.

Kind regards,
