Hi,
It's normal to have bleeding from rectum during periods. You need a series of tests to be done eg USG -whole abdomen and pelvis , Colonoscopy , blood pressure check ,etc.
Kindly consult your genaecologist for clinical examination and investigations related to your problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
