What are the symptoms of endometriosis in a 48-year-old woman?

Hello,

I have noticed some blood in my back passage. However, this started just as my period started. I had been for a CT scan three weeks ago and a colonoscopy four weeks ago, both of which were clear. Could this be a sign of endometritis? Can you get endometritis at the age of 48? As I am going through the perimenopause. The blood is like period blood. I discussed this with my consultant yesterday, and he did not seem as concerned as I was. He mentioned hemorrhoids as a possible cause. He also said that given that both CT scans and colonoscopy were clear, it is unlikely to be cancer as it could not develop in that short time. Also, I was referred for a colonoscopy as I was experiencing a change in bowel habits over three months, such as constipation and large mushy bowel movements, so I am not sure if constipation could cause some blood. Also, I have not had a bowel movement in two days. Please help.

Hi,

As I already mentioned, I had a colonoscopy four weeks ago, which was clear. Also, a CT scan was done three weeks ago, which was negative. I met my consultant yesterday. He suggested it could be hemorrhoids, given that both colonoscopy and CT were negative. He said it is unlikely to be cancer and suggested it may be endometritis.
