Does Menstruation Affect IBD Symptoms?

I am also the opposite of you my symptoms get way worse around the time of my period, but that does not discredit your feelings and the way your body works💕

My periods result in heavy cramping in the lower abdomen and occasionally extreme back pain. Keep note of the bleeding

So in my teens before my diagnosis of IBD, my period was 10xs worse! Now it’s pretty mild but still makes my POTS crazy

I experience the opposite as well! Might be good to get a second opinion on the bleeding if your doc isn’t investigating it.

I actually experience the opposite. Every-time I have my period it becomes way worse, inflaming everything in my lower abdomen.
