When I'm on my period, blood comes out of my anus. Is this normal?!


Question: When I'm on my period, blood comes out of my anus. Is this normal?
When I'm on my period, blood comes out of my anus but not as much as the amount that comes out of my vagina. It normally happens when I'm sleeping but occasionally happens during the day. I've read some things online about it being a sign of rectal cancer or a hemorrhoid, but I've also read that it's just an overflow from wearing tampons. I'd like to believe that it's just an overflow from tampons, but it happens when I'm wearing pads too. I'm pretty young, so this is all pretty scary. What is wrong with me?

see you are really not bleeding from anus
you are actually bleeding from vagina
what happens is that whenever you sleep you lay and the blood flows from that place to back wards so you think that you bleed from anus



Are you sure that you're bleeding from your anus? If so then you should definately tell your parents and go to a doctor about this. Menstrual bleeding is only supposed to come from your vagina, so this is pretty serious. Better get to the bottom of this as soon as possible. (You should probably approach your mom one on one about this at first if you feel uncomfotable talking about it with your parents).



It might just be that the blood is sort of...over-flowing from your vagina and going around your anus, and when you wipe, it seems like the blood is coming from there. This worried me when my period first started.

But if you are sure it's not this and you ARE bleeding from the anus, tell your parents and get it checked by a doctor as soon as possible



It's not normal to bleed from your anus. Perhaps what is happening is the blood from your vagina is soaking up at the back of your pad. That usually happens when you sleep with a pad. You could go to the doctor just to be sure.



haha that happens to everyone. it runs to the back naturally. its not ACTUALLY comming out from back there so dont worry about it :)



Are you sure it's coming out of your anus?
When you sleep the blood might be going up your crack and then you think it's coming out of your asshole?



There's no need to worry about being perfect anymore. It turns out that no one is at www.perfectlynot.com
