For about 2 weeks I have had a sore throat(which I did not notice my glands to be swollen, but not to say that they werent) that would happen throughout the day on and off . The same day I got rid of the sore throat I started having diarrhea. During these periods I have never had a fever or anything like that. What do you guys think it is?

I’m naturally pretty thin, but for about a week before my period is due, and then throughout, my lower stomach sort of swells. I know this is normal, because obviously that entire area is all inflamed, but it’s really annoying. Because I’m thin everywhere else, it looks really odd — kind of like I’m pregnant because my stomach is protruding.

Is there any way to prevent this from happening? Or any way to ease it a little? Periods are bad enough without worrying that I look pregnant.

about once a month, between periods, I get sudden very painful cramping in my abdomen. It doesn’t feel like gas pain, more like labor pain, but I’m not pregnant. Sometimes it hurts so bad I can barely move, but it only lasts a few minutes, one day a month. Would anyone have an idea as to what it could be?

I’ve been on it before, but the pill i used to take made my periods very heavy, and caused me to have terrible period pains. I’m taking a different one now but ever since i started taking it i have had diarrhea.
Could it be the pill?

I am nineteen and during every period I have blood clots. Usually they are kinda small but some periods I have gotten really big ones. Sometimes as big as oranges. I suffer really bad cramps and stay on the heating pad as much as possible. Before I was on birth control my cramps would make me throw up. Also, I get diarrhea every period. I go to the bathroom more than usual, but I’ve heard that during menstruation you have more bowel movements. Can anyone tell me if this is normal?

Right after I take my birth control pill I start having lower abdominal pain. I read the side-effects and whatnot recently, so I’m wondering whether it’s real pain or just paranoia? Has anybody been having effects like this?
Oh, yes, and that’s the other thing-I’m not sexually active, so I can’t be pregnant. I’m taking birth control to regulate my periods.
Last thing-it doesn’t last for very long, maybe ten minutes at most. And it’s not very strong. And it only happens immediately after taking the pill.

My past periods i have experienced bloating and cramps before my period actually came and since its Feb. and it’s a short month will this effect my cycle?

flatulence along with ocassional sour and sometimes only frothy burps, coupled with discomfort and occasional pain in the region between the navel and chest bone be a sign of malignancy ?
I have symptoms of IBS for over 10 years now. It comes on only with my periods. This time round it started with my last period and continued until the next one. Pain was severe on the first day of the second period.
A ultra sound in April showed nothing wrong. An endoscopy a couple of years back was normal too.
Stools are normal. There is no weight loss. Medicines are giving only temperory relief.

I’ve had my period for a long time already.. and people say that you experience bloating during/after periods. I’m not sure, but what does this mean and how does it feel like? Is it in any way related to cramps? Because that’s mostly the only known thing I’ve experienced or know of when it comes to periods.

On the first day of my period i have constipation and blood clotting which makes it very painful. However everything lasts for one day and then i get normal periods for 2-3 days.But those 7-8 hours of the first day are very painful. Is it normal? How should it be treated?
