Why does vaginal bleeding occur during a bowel movement?

Patient's question:

Last night, when I went to the toilet, I noticed that I was bleeding during a bowel movement. However, I had just finished my period last week, so it should definitely not be due to menstruation. I have been a bit constipated, and it took me a long time to finally have a bowel movement.
Hello, why could there be bleeding? Was my vagina injured?

Doctor's answer:

Bleeding from the vagina during bowel movements is considered abnormal and may be a manifestation of ovulatory bleeding. It could also be caused by gynecological inflammation. It is advisable to visit a hospital for an abdominal ultrasound examination. If it is not ovulatory bleeding, it is more likely to be caused by abnormal bleeding symptoms such as cervical erosion or endocrine disorders. It is necessary to have a thorough examination to determine the cause of irregular bleeding as soon as possible and then receive treatment. Once you notice your symptoms, you should seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay close attention to self-care, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid foods.
