Can you tell me is being constipated and having sensitive nipples normal before your period?

Specializes in Colon and Rectal Surgery

Yes,: Bowel function can certainly be affected by the hormonal changes of menstruation. Some women regularly take mild laxative or fiber around their periods. Non steroidal antiinflammatory medications are often helpful with nipple soreness.
