Those symptoms are somewhat concerning for your age. If you have a gynecologist, please reach out to them as soon as possible and share with them exactly what you have shared here. If the rectal bleeding is moderate ( soaking, say a pad an hour) you should be evaluated by an urgent care, or emergency department. Best of luck.
