constipation during your period?

use an anti-stimulant laxative... it's due to hormones.. your dr. could probably prescribe the best ones for your situation.

You should start taking an over-the-counter pain reliever (the best for menstrual pain is Aleve), two tablets 3 times daily, 2-3 days BEFORE your period is due to start and continue until it stops. Also, put a heating pad or hot water bottle in your lower abdomen at the first sign of cramps. For pain relief on-the-go, you can use a self-heating, self-sticking pad like "CUREHEAT Menstrual Relief" or "ThermaCare Menstrual" (look for them on the woman's care section of your local pharmacy). Since menstrual pain is often caused by blood clots that are too large to pass through your cervix (the opening of the uterus), you can do what I do myself, and have teached my teen daughter to do: sit on the toilet and strain like you do when trying to hard to urinate; most of the time, this dislodges the clots and offers great relief when they are expelled. Get lots of rest and keep yourself well hydrated. If these measures don't help, go to your gynecologyst, since you could have a condition such as ENDOMETRIOSIS or an hormonal imbalance that might require medical treatment like oral hormonal medications (usually the Pill), stronger analgesics, or even surgical intervention (in extreme instances). Only your doctor can accurrately diagnose and treat these conditions. I hope that my advise has been helpful, and that you get better soon.

Yes, its common.  Sometimes, when my period is done I bleed just a little bit.  Nothing to worry about.  It seems like it never wants to leave us. lol

As considered healthy by most doctors, having a bowel movement every day is "normal & healthy."  Though that may not be normal for you, every other day isn't a bad thing either. If you go longer than 2-3 days then you may have some constipation issues, or something else could be wrong. The bowel movement should pass easily, so if you have ( sorry to be graphic here) hard bowel movements that require pushing, you need to drink more fluids especially water. If you want a natural way to help increase bowel movements, start drinking a glass or two of prune juice every day. It may not taste great but it works. You need to keep an eye on your diet, because it can also have adverse affects on your regularity. If you don't eat enough leafy greens or vegetables period, and eat lots of junk food or mostly meats, that could be your problem.  Above all if you think you have a problem, speak to your doctor and see what he/she suggests. Good luck!

this happens allot to me for some odd reason. Try taking a hot bath and eat more fibers as well you could just be constipated as well. If they are bad then do some crunches it should make the pain go away. The common problem with the is you had a light period and you didn't shed it all and the next one will be a bit more heavy.

Yes, you can get PMS symptoms, but they come generally a week before your period.  You can get bloating, irritability, cravings for sweets or salt, tiredness, and many, many more things.  As for the initial "leakage", general no, that is usual a surprise as to when it starts.  If you want to try and keep track, start counting on the first day of your period, that being day one, and keep counting through the month, when you hit about the 28th or 32nd day in your cycle, you should get your period. Every women is different, so you have to learn your cycle to get your heads up that it is coming.  Hey this got me through high school without a surprise, hopefully it helps you.

Usually, your breasts feel hard. You becomea little bit moody. You might also experience stomach cramps. Pimples also begin to show. Having a menstruation is a bit uneasy. Anyway, just wear a suitable sanitary napkin. It's part of being a lady~! ^^

maybe your body is sensitive to pressure right before your period and his body weight makes you throw up?

This is perfectly normal.  Sodas are not good for you in general, but they wouldn't have this effect on menstruation.\n\nYou answered your own question.  Stress messes with all your systems, and a woman's cycle is usually the most vulnerable and obvious.  You could have also lifted something heavy and this speeded up extra discharge for a little while.  That happens to me whenever I lift heavy things on my period.

Yes. Any ill health, physical, emotional or psychological stress can cause menstrual irregularities.

heating pads have become my best friend during my period. You can buy them at the store and place them against your stomach. They work wonders! I also tend to enjoy chocolate during my unhappy time. Well, Good luck getting rid of the cramps!

I think all women experience some discomfort towards the beginning of their period.  I think you are normal, just experiencing it a little worse than most.  If it is really bad then see a doctor.  There are prescriptions to lessen the effect.

You do not lose enough blood during your period for that to matter.\nYou can always ask your doctor.
