Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
Diarrhea before menstruation is mainly related to the menstrual cycle and cold in the abdomen. Women of childbearing age may experience diarrhea symptoms before their period, especially one or several days prior to menstruation or even on the first day of their period. Generally, this is not related to infection, but rather associated with the unique physiological changes during the menstrual cycle. It is important to keep the abdomen warm, particularly in the few days leading up to the onset of menstruation and during the menstrual period. It is recommended to seek timely medical treatment at a hospital if needed.
