A member asked:

Can hormonal imbalance cause digestive issues? especially painful passage of stools?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Painful BM's: Hormonal imbalance is not generally associated with constipation or other causes of painful bowel movements. Ask your physician about probiotics and stool softeners to assist, and an exam to rule out hemorrhoids or fissures, which also cause pain.
