Accepted Answer

As a 21 year old female you have to take a lot of considerations before starting isoretinoin. It is very good acne tx with a high but not 100% cure rate. But has side effects you will have to deal with and you can not get pregnant on it. Depends on how bad your acne is and whether you are willing to deal with the side effects and go on birth control or be abstinent while on it! Need to know more.

You could have a stomach virus that happens to occur at the same time as your expected menses. I suggest you take over the counter medicine to treat the intestinal symptoms and see how you feel in a day or two.

How can i cure constipation fast on my period on the first day of my every period i always am constipated on that day whats some natural remedies that will help me cure it fast and how can i prevent this in the future ?

Accepted Answer

Each person with constipation needs to be sure there is no other disease causing it. If constipation is just due to slow movement of the food and poop through the gut, then the things to try are vegetables, water, prune juice, prunes, fiber with water, and plenty of exercise. If not better, there is Miralax, Senokot or other senna, milk of magnesia, other laxatives... plus her doctor can evaluate.

Is always of concern specifically at your age and in the presence of other symptoms. Would suggest starting with your pediatrician so that you have also a smooth transition to adult medicine. Your irregular periods are likely related to your sudden weight loss either directly or having a common root.
