Diarrhea/loose bowel movements before and during periods

[nomorepanic]

Thank You Joy.

I do have IBS as well as Crohn's so it is hard to know which causes the problem. I will have to wait and see what happens in 6 weeks I guess!

I appreciate the reply though

I always used to get loose bowels a couple of days before, and on the first day of my period also. I don't now, because since being on Cerazette I haven't had a period lol I would also always lose my appetite in the 2-3 days running up to my period.

Your Gynaecologist sounds rubbish - fancy suggesting that you're menopausal just because your period is late?! It could be anything!

Why so long? Awful to be made to wait 6 weeks! You should ring the buggers forthwith

Sure is a good job you don't have HA lol

Hi MM

They are doing the scan in 6 weeks as cysts can go on their own. I had one when I was ill with the Crohn's flare-up and that went on its own so they are leaving it 6 weeks to see if it has gone or not.

No idea if I will get told the blood test results before then though.

What is Crohn's disease? because sometimes when I go it feels like its on fire and it leaves my bum feeling really sore and it burns. So sorry bout the tmi.

[nomorepanic]

It is an Inflammatory Bowel Disease and cannot be cured.

It sounds like you have piles and/or a fissure maybe

[PinkRoxy]

thanks. Yeah I probably do as i wondered that before. It can be very sore and not very nice lol.

We have a cream here in the UK called Anusol - do you have that over there?

[PinkRoxy]

I dont know. He do have haemrroid cream that I asked for one time in the pharmacy but the lady laughed when I mentioned it so Ive been too embarrassed to ask for it or mention my problem again after that :(

I thought I would update my post.

I had the ovarian cyst rescanned and it has shrunk slightly.

I am now booked for a hysteroscopy on 22nd Aug.

I am totally fed up with the diarrhea and periods. I finished my last period on 19th July and now just 10 days later I have another period and have had diarrhea all week again.

It is seriously affecting my life now as I can't go far without needing a toilet and the suppositories I use are getting less effective!

I just want to get this sorted and the periods stopped so I can get some relief but I know that there is no short term solution
