Annoying Periods?

Question

So I know this might be gross but I've always wondered why girls get so gassy and have to Sh*t so often when we are on our periods? I tried to look it up on the internet but only came up with some bogus answer about demons being in our colons and needing an exorcism...I thought it was pretty funny but I was wondering if any of you knew the true answer.

Answer 1

I have had gas during my periods too and found that when I had to have a BM that I went better during my period. The reason for this is something called prostaglandins. They are released by hormones as well.
