Diarrhea can be a sign that your period is on its way, and it’s a common symptom for many people due to hormonal changes in the menstrual cycle. The increase in prostaglandins, hormone-like chemicals produced by the uterus, can cause the muscles in your bowels to contract, leading to diarrhea. This is perfectly normal and typically occurs in the days leading up to or during menstruation.

Consider:

• Diet Adjustments: Avoid foods that may worsen diarrhea, such as greasy or spicy meals, and focus on eating fiber-rich foods to stabilize digestion.

• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration caused by loose stools.

• Switch to Organic Products: Consider using organic menstrual products like BPP Organic pads or tampons. These products are free from synthetic chemicals, fragrances, and dyes, which can help reduce irritation and discomfort during your period while being gentle on sensitive skin.
