Every woman's menstrual period is different, some are heavy, some are lighter.  If a woman bleeds from the anus that's not related to menstruation, it can mean she has something wrong with her intestines or colon.

It could be you strained too hard and caused your rectum to bleed. However there could be another reason for the blood. Do you have Hemorrhoids? If so, you could have irritated them and that's the reason for the blood. If you are worried about this, go see your family physician. He can help eliminate the possibilities. I am sure it's nothing to worry about! Good Luck

You could have an anal tear that may need a doctors help. I have bled there before and had to see a digestive specialist. See a doctor ASAP. Not to scare you but it could be a sign of cancer. This is why I saw my doctor as soon as it started.

Sometimes when you are under a lot of stress your period lasts longer. Sometimes that happens to me. Or it could have been a miscarriage you didn't know about.

Every woman is different so are her genes & when she would start her menses.  Why don't you ask your female relatives like your mom or aunt to see when they started bleeding, this would give you a better idea when you start.

Its normal its a foreign object in your body and your body us trying to get rid of it by bleeding and flushing it out. At the time of insertion you may restart your cycle and many women complain they will get their period again. If you go more than a week with heavy bleeding I would go to the Dr and if the cramping worsens. Now by heavy what do you mean? are you having to change your pad every 2-3 hours?

When I was younger and in my twenties my perods were the same. I would bleed 2 days tops, not very heavy and no cramps to speak of...be greatful....we are the lucky ones. \nMy doctor told me it had to do with hormones and body type and not to worry about it. He told me if I were bleeding heavily then to contact him. He told me I just got lucky.

Yes, and it depends on how much bleeding.  It could be hemmoroids but  it can be a sign of rectal cancer or some other cancer.  Go see a doc.

Some women do have heavy menstrual bleeding prior to menopause, but the more likely explanations are possible cysts, uterine polyps or endometriosis.  If this persists, you should have an ultrasound performed by your gynecologist.

Everyone is different. Some women do not have regular menstrual cycles. There are things that can change your cycle. For example if a woman is does not meet her nutritional needs or is anorexic she may not get a period for a while. If you are very athletic this will also change your cycle. The most important thing for you to do is to see your doctor about these concerns. Remember people will always offer advice but nobody but you and your doctor can find the correct answer to your question.

It could be a couple of things -  you could have torn your anus - it happens from a big bowel movement, or anal sex.\n\nIt could be other issues internally.  I would keep a close eye (as pleasant as that can be) on your movements.  Would be smart to call your doctor too.  Better safe than sorry.  If it is internal, you need to catch it early.

could be heavy bleeding. clotting when having your periods is natural. Don't panic. Unless you have a valid reason to think it's a miscarriage. Go to a gyno if thati s the case. But miscarriages that happen in the first few months of preganancy pass unnoticed. And your age. God, ppl have babies in their late 40s so it's not menopause. But seriously, just ask your mom. Those things sort of run in the family.

Everybody's body is different.\n\nI went to the doctor's recently regarding period issues (I get mine more often than others) and she said that every lady is different.\n\nShe also said that stress can affect it.

Yes.  It is similar to childbirth.  I bled for a month after childbirth, only to get my period two weeks later.  If it is still heavy and full of clots it may be cause for concern.  I would talk to your midwife/obgyn.  At the very least it will make you feel better.  And I am terribly sorry for your loss!
