Rectal bleeding

Posted , 3 users are following.

I'm 47 and in peri, for about 5 months now a few days prior to my period (21 day cycle) I spot blood on the toilet paper after opening my bowels. I don't have any bleeding any other time during the month, its a very small amount but I just wondered if anyone experienced this.

    hi Sandra I do but it's eased off. I'm seeing a specialist in Jan finally about it. My Dr saw a anal fissures and then piles. She's referred me as I get it when I'm constipated and my bowels have changed so much during perimenopause. I don't strain and sit on the toilet longer than 10mins which has helped. I would see blood drops coming from my bottom! when I sat down it was sooo painful and everytime I had a bowel movement 😪
