Hi,
I understand your concern.
Blood has come out from your vagina because of monthly period.
The tiny worm has come out your anus and it is an intestinal parasite.
I advise to send a stool sample in the lab to diagnose intestinal parasites and treat them adequately.
The treatment should be started with anti-helminthic meds like albendazole (you can find over the counter).
Keep good personal hygiene especially after using bathroom.
Wish fast recovery.
