On Birth Control, Bleeding During Bowel Movements, Not On Periods Due, Had Tried Anal Sex Few Days Back. Cause?
Hi, I just tried to do anal sex a couple nights ago and we didn t succeed. Today I had a bowel movement and I bled like i was going to start my period, but I am on birth control and it isn t time for my period yet. It wasn t dark blood or anything, but I was just wondering if this is normal? Or could this possibly be a hemorrhoid?

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar and I am pleased to assist you.
This is not normal.
Bleeding during bowel movements could be due to hemorrhoids, fissures or colitis.
A sigmoidoscopy has to be done to find the cause.
Since you have had anal sex few days ago, the bleeding could be even due to injury to anal canal.
I hope that answers your question.
Regards,
Dr.Ratnakar
