A member asked:

Poop a lot during period is it normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It sounds: Like it's normal for you. The colon and uterus are in close proximity, anatomical variation, prostaglandins involved in uterine contractions, among other things, may contribute. Consider the pill to regulate and diminish cycle, i get it helps.
