Answer 1

Range of bleeding dx: There are several things that can cause prolonged bleeding from uterine fibroids, or cervical polyps to cancer. If this continues see a GYN MD for assessment.

Answer 2

Yes: The cervix is more sensitive during pregnancy and will often bleed if touched. This includes vaginal ultrasounds, doctor exams, and sex. Spotting or light bleeding after any of these is very common. Heavy bleeding is not normal.

Answer 3

Yes: It is very common to be constipated when you are pregnant. Hard stools can irritate and cause fissures (cracks/cuts) in the anal/perianal area, resulting in bleeding when you move your bowels or wipe yourself. If you are experiencing bleeding from the vagina and are pregnant, you need to inform your obstetrician so he/she can investigate where the bleeding is coming from.

Answer 4

Yes: It can cause bleeding if there is a resultant tear or fissure. It can also cause bleeding from associated hemmorrhoids.

Answer 5

PC OS: Often related to obesity but not always. Try aerobic exercise and a low-carb diet avoid caffeine.

Pregnant?: The first thing you need to do is to take a pregnancy test. Your symptoms are not normal regardless of whether you are pregnant or not. See your gynecologist soon.

Answer 10

The most common cause of bleeding gums is gingivitis or periodontal disease, although there are many others, both of dental and medical origin. See a dentist as soon as possible for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
