I got my period 4 days ago. The first day I got it I had severe pelvis pain, high fever, was puking, felt very bloated, and was very week , as well as severe constipation. Gradually everything went away except for my constipation. I've been constipated and bloated for about 4 days now. Well, the only time I can go is with the aid of a laxative, senokot. I've been taking it once before bed time for the past two days and have been going immediately the next day. Today when i went, I had a really really really watery stool. What do you suggest I should do besides eating lots of fiber and drinking lots of water. I am eating as much as I can. I am afraid to eat something as I worry that I won't be able to go to the toilet. Should I wait and see until my period is over..I mean maybe its period related..and then if it still exists then go to the doctor. I don't think its medicine related because I only took 2 naproxen(pain killers) the first two days I had my period.

Please let your mom know what's going on as well. This also needs to be evaluated by your doctor to see what they think is going on.

With you taking the lax. you may need to just stop. Since your stool was watery it probably would've been normal or close to normal w/o the lax. And make sure your mom knows. Stop taking the lax and see what happens. If nothing changes, I would wait until my period was over and see how things go. No changes after that? Go to the dr.

I think you need to stop with the laxitives. You're going to dehydrate yourself. Try to let nature take it's course. Drink lots of water and try eating prunes. I would also give your mom a heads up. It's possible you happened to catch a stomach bug at the same time your period started.

I don't know why constipation would be part of the menstrual cycle but anyway you should definitely get checked out.
