Sorry for the horrible question.

Over the last few months once my period has ended I find that if I do a poo there will always be blood in the toilet or when I wipe (sorry!) but it's only for a few days after my period. Is this endo?

Thanks for any help xxxxx

It might not be period blood. Endo lesions and nodules can form inside the rectum, sometimes when they are irritated (read: rubbed up on by exiting poo or a penetrating object) they can bleed. I would mention it your dr. it might not be serious (my dr. isn't worried about mine) but it is good for them to know.

And no worries. Bodies are gross. If you can't talk about bloody poo here where can you?
