Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. As per your complains its likely that you are having hemorrhoids. Its very common in pregnancy , you should visit your physician and may do proctoscopy ,CBC, pt/aptt, Hepatitis profile to look for cause of bleeding. Other thing is that you may be having dysentery as your physician had prescribed you flagyl. Its better that you should visit your physician as it can cause anemia and anemia is bad for both your and your baby health.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate to ask. I will be happy to answer your questions.
