Urgent: did i break my hymen or was it just my period??

I had sevear constipation, and after whipping away I saw blood, thinking it was the result of hard stools, however the next time I came in I was still whipping blood, I know for sure its not from my bottom. What I want to know is spwhich might sound really silly is Idid I break my hymen or get my period? It's unlikely to be my period because I just had it 2 weeks ago and never had one come this early before. Is this anything serious? Thanks.

    Don't be whipping away at your bottom or your genitals and you won't be bleeding...

    Seriously though, it's almost impossible for you to have broken your hymen from passing hard stools. It's much more likely your period has come early.

    It will be easy to tell for sure where the blood is coming from if you use tampons: if it's definitely not coming from your vagina you may have piles or a bleeding fissure (split) from constipation, in which case see your doctor both about this and for advice on how to avoid severe constipation in the future.

    Do you know why you got so constipated? Not drinking enough water, not enough fibre in your diet, medication or what?

      Constiptaion is something I struggled with for years, no matter what nothing has worked for me, even though I'm drinking the recommended amount and fibers. Thanks for the clarification.

        Have you tried any or all of the following: a handful of sultanas or half a dozen dates last thing at night; licorice; psyllium husks, either in powder form (4 tsps in the morning in your porridge or other cereal) or as Metamucil - WARNING - NEVER EAT IT DRY because it expands on contact with liquid and if it does that in your throat you'll choke to death! Also try a mug of plain hot water first thing in the morning OR hot orange juice first thing. A woman I knew used to smoke ONE cigarette first thing in the morning if constipated: it was the only time she ever smoked and she said that worked for her.

        Also try this yoga exercise: sit on floor, legs apart with soles of feet together and rock from side to side 20 times. I've heard a 24 hour fruit juice and water only fast is good too, but obviously not recommended to do often.

        Constipation will almost inevitably lead to piles and/or fissures, then you won't want to poo because it hurts and so it escalates. I guess you could try suppositories but apparently it's not good to rely on them except occasionally. Enemas would work and some people have a sexual fetish for them, so that could be fun for you!

        I'd love some feedback if you try any of the above with good results: I wish you happy and safe pooing!

    Even if your hymen were to be broken via some bowel or more than likely athletic activity you would still be a virgin as long as you've never had sexual intercourse with a man. No offense, but I think this keeping the hymen intact business is stupid. I was active in ballet, gymnastics and martial arts as a youth and it probably stretched my hymen, because you know what, it didn't hurt when I lost my virginity to my first love who was actually a virgin as well. I think cultures that believe the woman ought to bleed and feel pain when she loses her virginity are stupid and inferior! Sorry, it's nothing personal, but I just had to get that out!

    Honestly, if you're chronically constipated you probably just have hemorrhoids.
