I have constipation right before my cycle and then the opposite the day I start with constipation flowing during my cycle. I have endometriosis on my bowels that my gyno did not remove. I am really wishing I would have seen a endometriosis specialist for my surgery.

prior to going on Lurpon (5 months ago) i had a lot of bowel symptoms at ovulation time and period time. the constipation is a lot better now, through diet (Low Fod Map), careful hydration, and yoga (gentle seated poses). i do periodically get a bit stuck, but then i take magnesium lax (a few sips) and that usually works for me overnight and then i feel a lot better the next day. it's tricky, through Rare, i've read women can have endo cause a bowel obstruction. @A MyEndometriosisTeam Member im glad you're getting an MRI done. please report back to us :)

I don't have periods anymore, not for a long time due to endo. I am having constipation problems & am taking a pill form Meta Mucil it's over the counter & it seems to help me a lot. I also have been eating a lot of fruit like grapes & cantaloupe mixed together. I hope things get better for you.

Hi there, I have it on my bowel but don't have issues with constipation, but I do have painful bowel motions esp during my period. My specialist often refers to my bowel as a 'windy' one. I suffer from (what feels like) constant bloatedness and pains when trying to pass gas etc.

I have this and they thought endo was on my bowel turned out it was on my ligaments and near to my bowel so they could remove it, it's a nasty symptom!
