What do you prescribe for a woman who is having very intense pain with diarrhea around the time of her period who is perimenopausal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
antiinflammatories: Antiinflammatories (aleve/ generic, ibuprofen, etc) can help in some instances. Hormonal manipulation can help your periods and help the GI symptoms as well. An exam is encouraged.
