You should go to A&E hun, it could be a rupture...and even if it has a simple explanation its better safe than sorry xx

the blood and mucus could be an indication of a small hole thats opened up, probably from straining. It could be an infection. It really could be something very dangerous, but having said that it could be something and nothing. Follow your instinct if you know what's happening isn't normal don't take the risk xx

I have bowel endo and that would be a big sign I needed to go the hospital I've never experienced anything like you describe xx

Not from my bowel, I've had slight blood on the tissue but nothing I'm overly concerned about. I do get thick white discharge around ovulation, well all the time but in smaller amounts xx

If you get any worse tonight promise me you will call a Dr out or go to a&e I'm worried about u xx

Drink plenty of water, stop eating, have breakfast tomorrow and go fresh, high fibre, light on spreads (butter marge) try to eat clean tomorrow your tummy will thank you. Boiled hot water instead of caffeine and lay on the side that hurts least, pillow between your knees and a hot water bottle rest, feet up, if you have Rennie take some to sooth the stomach xx

Hi it does sound like it may be bowel endo but it could also be a fissure or hemerroids, caused by straining when trying to go. Are you on your period? If you are having problems with both bowels and bladder it could be rectovaginal endo.

you could have diverticula. If you are bleeding from the bowel you should go see a doctor immediately
