A member asked:

How come during my period when i have a bowel movement immediately following a rush of blood from period comes out like it was held and now released?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal occurence: Sometimes the menstrual flow accumulates in the vagina and during the evacuation of a bowel movement, the pressure of the movement itself will cause the accumulated matter to be ejected.
