What Causes Loose Stools During Menstruation After Having Anti-nausea Tablet?
I am currently having my menstrual period. Yesterday I left work early due to extreme sues, which went away after I took an anti-nausea medication. This evening while in the restroom I realized I had a loose bowel movement in my panties without realizing it. This has never happened before. I don t know if this has to do with my period, or I have a stomach virus.

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Loose stool may not be caused by your menses.Possible causes may include digestive viral, bacterial or parasitic infections or just food poisoning.Most of such disorders may pass without any special treatment.I will however advise you take oral rehydratrion salt and zinc tablets and observe.If symptom persist, you see the Doctor for a stool exam/culture.Take enough fluids(Water) but avoid artificial sweeteners.
Hope this will help
Best regards
