it might be a hemorroid or fissure. but only a doctor can tell you
that. unless you're a contortionist, you won't be able to see for
yourself either. ;)
however, it could be related to endo. i had some endo in the area
between my vagina and rectum (in addition to other places). the stuff
there was causing some kind of inflammation each month, and i would have
diarrhea with blood the day before my periods always. once the endo was
removed from that area, the stuff stopped happening. it took about a
year and a half to start up again.
i did have a case last month of isolated bloody diarrhea (not near my
period at all). my gp had me do a stool sample. not the most pleasant
experience in the world. but it will give me some answers (monday i
hope). i'm hoping it was just something i ate.
it might be a hormonal thing. it might be endo. it might be a
hemorroid. it might be something else. but see your doc. set your
mind at ease.
