Patient's question:
What is the reason for constipation before menstruation? What should I do if I have anal fissures due to constipation? I always get constipation before my period. How should I take care of it? Are there any effective treatment methods?Doctor's answer:
Before menstruation, constipation often occurs, which may be caused by hormonal changes in the body. It is recommended to consume gas-producing vegetables and pectin-softening foods appropriately:Appropriate consumption of gas-producing vegetables, such as potatoes, radishes, onions, soybeans, and raw cucumbers, can enhance intestinal peristalsis, making bowel movements easier. Foods rich in high pectin content, such as apples, bananas, carrots, beets, cabbage, and citrus fruits, can soften stool and alleviate symptoms.
