What Causes Delay In Periods And Constipation?
Hello I have two questions and I am mot sure if they could be related or not. Im 20 years old.
1. My period is pretty late and I have all the symptoms of pms but no bleeding. Im not showing any signs of pregnancy either. I have been very stressed lately but I don't think it should be this long. Its been 3/4 months. Im usually irregular but its starting to worry me because of the pms symptoms I have.
2. For the past couple of days I have kind of felt like I've had to (for more or less words) poop. I kept ignoring it because maybe I wasn't home, in the car, etc. Well I finally felt this morning like I had to so I went to get up but my boyfriend decided to get a little frisky..after that was done I went into the restroom and finally relieved myself. When I got up the water was bright red and I had thought it was my period but after wiping I realized it was from my butt. It was a lot of blood too. Also, the feces was not hard or sharp but I did have that pressure for a couple days so I dont know what to do. Does the sex have anything to do with that? This has never happened to me before and its freaking me out.
Could these problems somehow be related??

Hi
The cause of constipation should be identified.Increase fibre rich diet and water intake to reduce the symptoms.Any hemorrhoids or anal fissures should be ruled out.Liquid paraffin syrup can be taken at night to reduce constipation. Sitz bath and anovate cream can be used to reduce any discomfort.
Irregular periods and constipation can denote hypothyroidism.Hence Tsh,free T3,T4 levels should be measured.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
