Rectal bleeding during period
I had endo excision surgery last year with an endo specialist surgeon. He had a colorectal surgeon present for the surgery as part of his team. I was told that no endo was found on my bowels during surgery. MRI imaging before surgery didn't mention my bowels, but it did say a lot of things were clear that did not end up being the case in my lap, such as my bladder, so MRI isn't the greatest at detecting endo.
Problem is, I am still having rectal bleeding, only during my period. It is the same colour and flow as what is coming out vaginally. I've reached out to the surgeon. He said to get a gastro investigation to rule out anything else first, I'm on a waiting list for a colonoscopy. He said if I didn't get answers there to go for an MRI. Thing is, if an MRI didn't show it before, I don't see how that would change. I'm considering the HERA clinic for a TVUS.
Has anyone here experienced rectal bleeding during your period only, without bowel endometriosis present?
Overall, I still have a lot of symptoms since the surgery that have persisted, but I do also have mild Adenomyosis, so that could be causing symptoms too.
