Re: Vaginal bleeding after bowel movements

I have also been experiencing vaginal bleeding during bowel movements.
This has been occuring for 6 or so months now. I've been going to my
GYN twice a month, and still....no answer. I have had the
sonohystogram, normal. I have had the cervix biopsy, it came back
chronic inflammation. I recently had cryotherapy, where they freeze the
bad tissue of the cervix. Then I developed an infection, which they
asume was from the cryo. I do not have endo. Now, I'm still bleeding
with EVERY bowel movement. I still have no pain, which is even more
confusing. Its getting worse. I don't know what to do. I have
sceduled an appt. with another GYN, for a second opinion. My current
GYN has brought up a hysterectomy. I'm 26!!! No way! There has to be
another solution. Any advice? Please help me. I've thought about going
to the ER....I work in the local ER, kindda embarrassing. Would you
suggest I attempt that? I'm so annoyed, and frustrated!!! Nicole
