Getting Diarrhea during your period is very common. Your digestive system is controlled alot by hormones, therefore, when your hormones are changing which they do during your period, the digestive tract changes, which can definately cause you to have diarrhea. Think of it this way, when you have your period, you experience in most females some form of "cramping", this is your bodies way of preparing it for your cycle to rid your body of the endometrial lining which is your "period" so to speak, so when everything is changing to prepare your body for your menstrual cycle it causing alot of other changes as well. Just like alot of people "break out", due to the decrease in hormones. I hope you feel better. Try talking to your doctor about it and if your not comfortable with that, try eating a banana and it will help with the diarrhea.

Diarrhea During Period

Yes!!! It happens to me too! The last few times that I had diarrhea occurred during my period. My new rule is to avoid fast food and greasy foods during my period which might contribute to the problem.

HI my 14 year old started nearly a year ago and she gets this. Is there anything you can do to control it as it is hard enough to get used to periods without having sickness and diarrhea as well.

Yes. You are not by yourself. I also get the runs on my menstral. But mine lasts the whole period except the last day. Nothing is wrong with you. That's normal. Maybe you should change your diet. That my help some. If you are really concerned, you should see your gynecologist. But it is really nothing to worry about. If you had those symptoms everyday, then it would be a problem.

There is nothing wrong with you at all. I have done the same thing that you are doing. And I went to the doctor and he just said it is where I have alot of horomones going through my body while I am on my period. But if you feel like it is more serious then go and have it checked out for yourself. But it is common to have diarreha on the first day of your period.

I have too since going off the Pill. I switched to an IUD, and never had any problems before when using the Pill. Looks like from many of the answers it's not uncommon.
