Bleeding: There could be a connection however if you have not had the rectal bleeding evaluated, i would contact your physician and do so.

Hope you: Do not confuse between the two. Unless your bowel habits remain the same during your entire cycle there is not correlation. However if you by chance would get constipated just before your period could be a relationship between the two!

Exam or colonoscopy: Many people present with "piles" and this can actually be the issue or one of many other problems that your doctor can help there are dietary, behavioral, hygiene modifications as well as procedures that can help with these common problems. Both constipation and diarrhea can lead to this condition as well it is best if you consult with a general or colorectal surgeon to help with this matter.
