I abuse laxatives & haven't really had a proper period in months. since abusing laxatives, i am having a pinkish orange spotting. should i worry?

Not anally retentive: Abuse of any medicinal kind warrants not only what effect it has on the body but why this behavior is being done in the first place. Your first stop is to see a GYN MD, but only if you tell him/her of your laxative abuse issues to help clarify the impact on your menstrual cycle. Number 2(pun intended), you need to see a therapist or psychologist to sort out your compelling need to abuse laxatives.
