Constipated every month before period
Hi,
Every month right before 1 week when I'm about to start my period, I get constipated. I also have frequent acidity and sometimes stools are also hard to pass. I did see small stream of blood in my stool and it was a bit painful while pooping and I think I have haemorrhoids as well, I can feel it.
Most of the months, I'm able to manage it with good diet and plenty of water but since 2 months I've had this happen twice.
Do i need to get my hormone levels checked as I did read that progesterone or estrogen in excess can cause slowed bowels.
Please suggest what to do and if I should be worried.
