A member asked:
Off and on bleeding. could it be from birth control or anal sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many causes: The most common cause with birth control pills is missed pills. Other bc can cause irregularity. Pregnancy is one possibility, and there are many others-- infections, stds, a cervical or uterine polyp, fibroids, and other causes including precancerous or even cancer. See your doctor to be sure. If it's vaginal bleeding, it's not likely to be caused by anal sex--which can cause rectal bleeding.
