Liver ( hepatic) hemangioma is common benign tumor of the liver and is made up of small blood vessels.
Usually, these benign tumors are not causing symptoms because they have small dimensions (less than 1 cm in diameter).
When they appear to be large, symptoms like pain, nausea, or enlargement of the liver can be experienced.

Can they cause bleeding anywhere else?! I've looked into it and it's a illness which can be found anything in the body. It also runs in my family too!

Reading about medical issues has helped calm my nerves when it was my turn to be worried. Lack of knowledge produces stress, because we tend to assume the worst. And you seem to have visited this forum to boost your knowledge, didn't you!

Best of luck to you. Let us know how your situation goes... including that colonoscopy.

Only, large hepatic hemangiomas (more than 5 cm in diameter) can rupture and cause severe pain and bleeding into the abdomen that can be an emergency.
But, that's very rare and I'm sure you aren't under such a risk (your hemangiomas are small ones).

Does the pain subside after bowel movement?
Do you have some new results?
Thinking of you!

Is that pain abdominal that spreads to lower back and other areas you have previously mentioned or it's only a soreness in rectal and anal area?
Do you have the feeling that you didn't completely empty your bowels after a bowel movement?

The pain you feel during and shortly after bowel movement, can be due to a small tear in the skin at the opening of the rectum, called anal fissure. It is usually caused as a result of straining and stretching the rectum when passing a hard stool.

Did you already get the date for colonoscopy?

I don't think this kind of pain is a indicator for prompt colonoscopy.
Usually, acute bleeding with severe pain is a reason to get immediately checked with colonoscope.
I guess, you'll need to wait for a date, but, insure yourself that you are on a waiting list for this procedure.

Wishing you a good, healthy day!

Are you telling that you are experiencing anal bleeding along with your period?
The soreness you feel while wiping , usually, is due to hemorrhoids.

What's the frequency and form of your bowel movements like?
Do your bowel habit alternates between constipation and diarrhea?
Does the pain often occur in the evening?
Have you noticed ups and downs of pain and bowel problems relating to your menstrual cycle?

Did you have a colonoscopy?
Will you visit tummy clinic for further tests?

Diagnosis of IBS itself is unfortunately not very simple and it is often more a diagnosis of exclusion.
The questions in my last post was asked because I also suspected you may have IBS.
Also, you have noticed some connection with your period.
Ups and downs of abdominal symptoms for women is very characteristic for IBS.
