Painful bowels: Generally, The constipation associated with the period may be brought about by other factors. For example, many women on their periods eat different foods or may drink less fluids then they normally would. These dietary changes may cause the constipation. Therefore, common sense approaches, such as maintaining a healthy diet and fluid and sleep balance during the period can be helpful.
