Question 1

cervic biopsy spotting is norm i haven't had a lot but small bowel movement causing more-entire toilet was red water..to much? or could be from bowel?

Accepted Answer

Timing of biopsy: Cervical biopsy should not bleed, after a couple of days. Bowel movement should not induce bleeding from the biopsy site. Whether it is cervical of intestinal, bleeding should not be ignored and you should contact your doctor for an evaluation.

hi there, i'm 8 weeks preg, have had some vaginal spotting following a bowel movement.  i have been constipated - trying fibre/fluids .  concerned?

Accepted Answer

? vaginal source: The first question would be is it vaginal bleeding or is it rectal bleeding, which when you are constipated having hard bowel movements would be much more common. Fiber and fluids is a great treatment for constipation. If you are sure it is vaginal bleeding and it continues, then you shoud alert your OB doctor.

Question 3

i am having vaginal spotting (pinkish and once with a little stringy blood in mucus) after a bowel movement. i am mid cycle. what could cause this?

Accepted Answer

Midcycle: stringly mucous indiicate not only mid-cycle but also indicates ovulation and fertility. If you desire pregnacy, now is the time; however, if you do not want pregnacy, condoms plus BC pills is correct.

Question 4

vaginal spotting  after bowel movements?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

vaginal spotting with bowel movements first trimester?

Accepted Answer

Stool straining?: Are you straining(Valsalva maneuver) at the stool to have a bowel movement? If so, it could be hemorrhoids as an alternative to vaginal spotting. If you are doing the Valsalva maneuver regularly, it may also be producing the vaginal spotting as well. Constipation is quite common during pregnancy and your OB MD can give you advice about solutions when he/she is seen at an appointment.

Question 6

painful bowel movements for 2 days, now have diahreah. bf and i had protected sex last night & i've been spotting all day.on day 10 of my 32 day cycle?

Accepted Answer

May be a hemorrhoid: A hemorrhoid is a dilated blood vessel in the rectum or anal area that bleeds when painful bowel movements occur. May sure that it is vaginal bleeding and not anal.

Question 7

im 29. i sometimes have minor anal itching after showering at night and spotting of bright red blood on toilet paper after bowel movements. why?

Accepted Answer

Pinworms, hemorrhoid: Nighttime anal itching can be a sign of pinworms. See your doctor for help with diagnosis and treatment. Minor bleeding like you described may be from an anal fissure or hemorrhoids. Stool softeners can help to avoid aggravating these, but if bleeding persists see a doctor to confirm there is no other reason for bleeding.

Question 8

spotty bleeding after bowel movement (hysterectomy 10yrsago) need to worry? 50 years old

Accepted Answer

Probably : Probably not. This of course, depends on the reason for the hysterectomy and your current menopausal status. If the hysterectomy was complete (removed cervix) for benign reasons there is little to worry about. Obviously persistend or increasing bleeding should be evaluated.

Question 9

always feel faint during and after having a bowel movement. it doesn't get better until i lie down or sometime not at all. what causes it? b/p normal.

Accepted Answer

Valsalva maneuver: Straining at defecation causes an abrupt drop in bp. Although you note that your BP is "normal", it's the fall in BP that causes dizziness and it's likely that yours falls with valsalva (straining) as does everyone's. Your lactose intolerance and IBS may have caused some volume contraction - you can counteract this by pushing fluids and liberalizing your salt intake. Good luck!

Question 10

female- bleeding during bowel movement?

Accepted Answer

Pain vs no pain? : Bleeding with bm and if associated with much pain, likely anal fissure and/or external hemorrhoids. Internal hemorrhoid usually does not hurt and blood is often found coating the stool rather than mixing with it. Better safe than sorry, check with your doc to see what you have. External hemorrhoids and fissures r pain in the _ _ _ but not dangerous, and can be treated. Good luck.
