Radiologist,  's  Response
Irregular periods in your age is likely due to menopause setting in however Next time you have the same problem do get an ultrasound done to just make sure no other pathology related to uterus or cervix is underlying. When your oestrogen levels fall it can lead to constipation and hence chronic straining can lead to formation of hemorrhoids which is the most common cause of bright red bleeding. Consult a gynaecologist who can start you on hormones to pacify your symptoms if very troublesome.
