A member asked:
For the past few months i've had loose bowel movements & there's been either slime or mucus in them. also severe pain with it when i'm on my period.

Need more info: I don't think that the BM's & the attendant menstrual period are connected. The loose stools & mucus indicate some irritation in your intestinal tract. See your family physician for an exam. If he/she is unable to come up with a diagnosis he/she may refer you to a gastroenterologist.
