    The blood is definitely coming from the front and running back.I'm sure that's all it is.

      Hi ker04664

      I deal with this problem myself and can definitely say that the blood isn't running back. 

      For some, this may be the case, but for others not. There can be a number of reasons why this happens and in my case

      It is from trauma of a 3b tear that was not correctly managed.

    You should see your doctor. There should be no blood from your bum. It's not normal.

    Mine is too.

    It's taken a while for the doctors to believe this. A long time. I am not sure it's a fistula/fissure or endometriosis.

    I get my period from behind and female fluid too. I also thing the doctor/endoscopy physician ruptured something, not sure.

    It's a lot. I had IBD so this makes it more difficult. I've had to fight with doctors about this, when people say, just go to your GP, it sounds straight forward like the initial process is simple. My experience is that is takes on average 6 years to be believed, 13 for IBD.

    When things go wrong they refuse to look into it at all until you go ballistic. I've got GP's who refuse to give me my medicines for IBD when I flare and that means months without them. When on a flare they'll see you use the toilet which renders you late for your appointment and will have you wait 2 and 1/2 hours in reception. It's a lot. Your in pain, flaring, bleeding and that's all part and parcel of your care!
