I had rectal bleeding after a few long runs last summer. Had to go for a colonoscopy (or was it a sigmoidoscopy?, can't remember). Anyway, luckily my doctor was a marathoner. They found nothing and he concluded I was fine and that it sometimes happened with runners.

I think it's a good idea for you to get it checked out but I want you to know that you shouldn't worry at this point. Please email or DM me if you want more info.

Right afterwards I urgently had to use the restroom. And then again, about two more times. There was some pinkish color, so I assumed I started my period--even though its two weeks early. So I used a tampon.

Two hours later, I've bled through. Which didn't surprise me because my abdomen was uncomfortable. However, the tampon was clean. So it's not coming from there.

Calling doctor in the AM. This one is making me a little nervous.
