Can diarrhea be caused by hormonal imbalances?
I have had chronic diarrhea for the past 2-3 years now, but it only happens about once a month at about the same time as my period. This did not happen when I became pregnant, but then it picked up again after I gave birth. Can diarrhea be caused by hormonal imbalances? If so, what can be done about it.
I’m pretty sure it can contribute to it, but a lot of women get diarrhea when they get their period, the same muscles that cause cramps to help get the blood out cramp around the area where poop is causing diarrhea.
I’d get both, constipation/diarrhea, I took BCP in the 80′s, they were much stronger than ones used now, but, it sure helped. You need eval by gyn and GI doc for other causes that may just be aggravated by menses.
