I am on my period and I have been having a issues for a year and a half. But this month I am on my period and I only bleed when I have a bowl movement and I have been having many. Seems my bowls are causing me to stop and now my period wont come out unless I poop. Do I have a serious issue?

Dear; constipation or irregular bowel movement does not produce irregular menstrual periods. However, certain medical conditions as hypothyroidism or slow thyroid can cause both. it is important to have a checkup including TSH which is the hormone to evaluate slow acting thyroid.
