Irregular Menstruation and Diarrhea...?
I had a lot of troubles with ovarian cysts about a year or so ago. Ended up having open surgery and the docs found out I don't even have an ovary on that side! Just the duct ~ producing ovarian cysts. Wierd huh?? Anyways they cauterized it and said that should be the end of my issues.
Ever since, I have had terrible bouts of constipation followed by diarrhea. Sometimes it will be a week or more before my bowels move! Anyways, when this happens, I always, always get my "period" along with it. Meaning I get my period twice, sometimes 3 times a month!! I've been to the doctors several times for this, and they just prescribe birth control. Sometimes it helps but not always.
It just dawned on me this evening, what if I'm not actually getting my period ~ is it possible that my constipation is causing irritation inside and that is why I'm bleeding?? Or is my system just way out of whack? Should I go back to the Dr with that?
Answer:
you need to have a blood test because the lack of an ovary causes hormonal imbalances that can be taken care of with the proper medication.
Good luck and you can control this.
I suggest that you seek a second opinion from a different doctor. It is not healthy for you to be bleeding that much per month. It can be dangerous... I know that sometimes diarrhea before a period is common but not like you have described. Good Luck and I feel for you!!
