Very embarassing question?

Question

I am on my monthly and i was wondering if it was normal to have difficulty using #2 (bathroom wise) when im on it.

Answer 1

It may not be your period. A side effect of pain killers is constipation, are you using them to get through your period? Try a fiber one bar its a chewy granola bar very good, drink lots of water too that will help move things along. If you have pains use a therma care heating pad just strap around your belly and go.

Answer 2

Eat yogurt to help your bowel movements. And eating yogurt helps keep away yeast infections. Yogurt contains calcium, good for your bones and teeth too.
