Accepted Answer

Need more info: Do you have blood in your stools? If yes, you could have hemorrhoids that may be aggravated by your periods. Even if it some thing as simple as hemorrhoids, any abnormal bleeding needs to be evaluated. Blood loss could make you anemic. It would be prudent to see your doctor. You may take oral iron and multivitamins to prevent anemia.
Wish you good health!

Question 2

Vaginal Bleeding: If you notice bloody bowel movements or vaginal bleeding with bowel movement then the first step should always be a visit to your physician to determine the exact cause of your problem.

Question 5

light vaginal bleeding after a hard bowel movement. what could this be? have an appt. next month but just curious. thanks!

Accepted Answer

Irregular periods: Irregular vaginal bleeding is a common complaint. When you push to have a bowel movement then sometimes blood in the vagina comes out. It is important to verify that the blod is not from the anus or rectum when you see your doctor.

Question 6

one month since mirena (levonorgestrel) insertion and the only time i have vaginal bleeding is after a bowel movement.  i also have bloody mucous.  any thoughts?

Unsure: Where is the blood coming from? You should not be having blood coming from the rectum. Bloody mucous from the vagina is not that unusual after a mirena (levonorgestrel). See your provider and get this checked out!

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Several options: One might be to try a Progesterone withdrawal to go ahead and have a period. Important to understand your reporductive goals going forward in concert with how disruptive your abnormal periods are. This is a convo to have with your obgyn. If not interested in pregnancy birth control pills can make your bleeding less and more regular for example.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Not sure: I don't think the two are related.  I think the steroids are for fetal lung maturation in the event that delivery, presumably premature, is imminent.

Question 9

can abnormal vaginal bleeding mean pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: Irregular spotting and bleeding can occur in a very early pregnancy.  There are many other causes of irregular bleeding however, so a pregnancy test can rule in or out pregnancy.

Question 10

could vaginal bleeding effect a pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: There is not any reason why vaginal bleeding would affect a pregnancy test. The pregnancy test looks for specific hormones and would be unaffected by blood products.
