Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to healthcare Magic!
The bleeding form vagina has different causes then bleeding from rectum.
First make sure what is the source. If rectal, it will be associated with the bowel motions. Vaginal bleeding is almost irregular.
Since how long it is going. You should get the complete blood counts and PT, aPTT tested to get the status.
Then put a follow up query or get reviewed with the reports to a local gynecologist.
I hope the advise would be informative and useful for you.
Take Care!
