Apologies in advance 
Posted recently about what I think are peri/menopausal symptoms (doubled over from pain and very heavy bleeding). Anyho, for as long as U can remember I've always got quite constipated while in period. Last few days no different however I think I may have 'forced' the issue too much. I have, what feels like bruising in back passage, can get no relief from it. The pain is almost identical to that experienced a few years ago when I slipped a disc, similar area too (base of spine/bum area).
Could straining have caused bruising? Might it even have slipped disc again?!
