Is there a reason why i am getting constipated during my period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PMS includes GI: It is extremely common for women to have a change in their bowel 'habits' leading up to and during their period. This is most certainly a hormonal effect. If this is a predictable problem, then increased fiber, hydration and possibly a stool softener during that point in your cycle might help. If it does not, then talk with your ob/gyn.
