Rectal pain during cycle... ouch!

[ipodsr2big.livejournal.com]

Ok, so the subject line sums it up. I may have always had this, but I guess its been on my mind more in the past six months. During my cycle, for about a day or two I will have sporadic rectal pain. Sometimes accompanying cramps. Sometimes its a dull pain and other times its can be really intense, but they only last several seconds.

Are these oddly placed cramps? I'm wondering if other women go through this and if this is something I should be concerned about.

I have those sharp types of pains. mostly during my period, but Ive had them sometimes when Im not on my period. I thought it was always related to my period, but then I thought maybe its a regularity problem because I have always had a bowel movement like every 3 days. and sometimes its a hard consistency. now I drink fiber drinks and eat quite a bit more fiber and thats helped. I hardly even have them during my period or when Im not on it.
