Can pregnancy and bleeding during a bowel movement cause a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

I am about five months pregnant. This morning while having a bowel movement, it seemed like there was some bleeding. Will there be rupture during bowel movement for pregnant women, and could it lead to miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

During pregnancy, rectal bleeding is usually caused by conditions such as hemorrhoids or gastrointestinal bleeding. Therefore, it does not lead to miscarriage. You should distinguish between vaginal bleeding and rectal bleeding. It is also abnormal for a pregnant woman to experience rectal bleeding during pregnancy. It is recommended that pregnant women who experience physical discomfort should go to the hospital for examination to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment. The above is advice on this issue, and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you.
