Is it normal to poop more on your period?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes—pooping more, or having looser stools, is common during your period. Hormone-like chemicals that help your uterus contract can also get your bowels moving.
Your body releases prostaglandins around your period to help the uterus shed its lining. They can also stimulate your intestines, so you might poop more often, get diarrhea, or feel extra crampy. Hormone shifts can affect digestion, too, and people vary from cycle to cycle.
It’s usually nothing to worry about if it settles as your period ends. If the change is severe, keeps happening outside your period, or comes with blood in your stool, it’s worth checking with a healthcare professional.
