See your doctor: ovarian and uterine pain can be common around menstrual period, and feel like colon, although colon itself can be involved with various causes such as constipation or rare endometriosis. If persistent/recurrent, see your doctor to address treatable causes. Happy to consult but would need more info on past medical/surgical history, current medicines, etc.

May be normal : Having change in your bowels usually looser stools but can be also constipation around your periods is very common . If this is a new symptom for you it can be something more serious Alarm signs are rectal bleeding weight loss or fever. It is a good idea to talk to your doctor who can make a proper diagnosis
