Question
Hello doctor,
I have been experiencing frequent flatulence (~15 times/day) for about a week now, along with occasional burping, lower abdominal pain, anal discomfort, and constipation. Yesterday, which was the last day of my menstrual cycle (with almost no menstrual blood left), I suddenly had bright red bleeding. Could you please tell me what frequent flatulence and anal discomfort could indicate?

Hello,
Regarding the question "What could frequent flatulence and anal discomfort indicate?", the doctor answers as follows:
Your symptoms are abnormal. These signs may be due to constipation, causing discomfort in the anus, lower abdominal pain, and frequent flatulence. You should change your diet (eat more vegetables and fruits, drink enough water), establish a habit of daily bowel movements, and exercise. If the symptoms do not improve after relieving constipation, you should see a gastroenterologist for a diagnosis.
If you have any further questions about frequent flatulence and anal discomfort, you can visit a hospital in the Vinmec Health System for further examination and consultation. Thank you for trusting and sending your question to Vinmec. Wishing you good health.
Best regards!
