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! 

  • I really hope that you do, and if you do, please let us know! 

  • Hello all, not sure if this helps anyone but I had the same issue about 5 years ago and it’s starting to show again now with the bleeding after a bowel movement. It’s usually noticeable just before I am due on my period.


    Back along it turned out to be Uterine polyps which were removed during a hysteroscopy. It’s a weird yet fascinating thing to see the inside of your body I must say.

    Anyway, after the hysteroscopy the bleeding stopped so I am not worried about it happening again. 

    I am 39, 2 children with natural births, had my tubes tied and started pre menopause around 18 months ago although I guess the changes in my period could be due to the uterine polyps I guess if they are back ‍♀️
