Endometriosis: The classic answer to this q is endometriosis of the bowel, an unusual problem. Otherwise you may have a separate problem. Anyone with rectal bleeding should have at minimum a sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy. A pelvic ultrasound may also be indicated to work-up this problem. What doe your gyn doc say?

Some possibilities: There are several possible causes of your symptom; flair of internal hemorrhoids, colitis, endometriosis implants, fistula between rectum and vagina. A trip to your doc, and an exam under anesthesia with your surgeon, will further evaluate and help get you to a diagnosis.
