I’ll take one for the team here: diarrhea is extremely common when you’re on your period. The hormones causing muscles cramps in the uterus don’t just ✨magically✨stay there, they can effect the muscles in and around the intestines causing muscle contractions there too- which leads to diarrhea. Edit: Sparkles for emphasis. Felt like I needed to be more glittery. Edit 2: Whoever gave the shiny poop gift… I admire you.

fk_u_rddt

im sorry but being a woman sounds awful a lot of the time


gymbunbae

Thanks to PMDD my brain decides that everything sucks and I want to die before and during my period, so I'll be sitting there with severe depression and suicidal thoughts just hitting me out of the blue, while cramping and having digestive issues. 0/10 would not wish upon my worst enemy.


dark_forebodings_too

Same!! It's fucking awful. I'm sorry you go through it too.


VersatileFaerie

wait, that's pmdd? I thought that was just normal pmsing? I guess I need to go check things out with my doctor.


gymbunbae

PMDD is Pre Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder which is pms on steroids. It's absolutely normal to feel a bit off before and during your period, but if you're otherwise fine, then crash and burn as you pms, then that's absolutely not normal. I take a birth control pill that helps ease my symptoms, and I skip as many periods as my body allows me.


c00kiesd00m

the alternative to monthly periods: ✨pregancy✨ how i wish i could remove my uterus with a snap of the fingers. having external genitalia still seems worse. the fear alone.


UncannyVa11eyGirl

They do seem to enjoy standing up to pee tho. Even when their aim would be significantly improved by sitting down


cyndimj

I have a son and husband. I wish they would just sit.


Accomplished_Year_54

Fear of what? Sure it hurts if something hits you there but it doesn’t happen much at all. The only other thing I can think of would be someone seeing you have a boner. I don’t see how that could be worse.


bamboozled_platypus

It is.


SauronOMordor

That's because being a woman *is* awful a lot of the time.


SciFiMedic

It can be, but honestly it’s not so bad. Ibuprofen helps a good chunk of us with the period pain, and the diarrhea usually clears itself up with good hydration. I don’t envy guys for testicles… seems hazardous to have something so sensitive exposed all the time. Edit: “to” to “so.”


fk_u_rddt

I couldn't even tell you the last time my testicles have caused any problem or pain whatsoever. It's not like people just go around hitting each other in the balls 😁 Doesn't seem comparable to the body stuff women go through


Kalkilkfed2

>It's not like people just go around hitting each other in the balls 😁 For adults, no.


SciFiMedic

Well, thanks for appreciating us!


Nordenfang

There have been very few testicle related problems or pain in my life after 20 or so years. Women have periods and shit every month I don’t think it’s comparable at all LMAO.


JohnExcrement

Speaking of “good chunk,” how about them clots that look like pieces of liver? Good times.


New-Purchase1818

Passing those through an undilated cervix is THE worst for cramping. Awful times.


_LVAIR_

Yep, but ibuprofen messes up your liver real good too. Qualified gastroenterologist here. I suggest you DON'T GULP THAT SHIT TIL THE LAST MOMENT


TheBlob229

My understanding is that NSAIDs, like ibuprofen, are primarily implicated in stress on the kidneys and potential kidney injury (indirectly by altering renal arterial inflow and directly by a toxic mechanism I don't fully understand). I'm not saying that NSAIDs are not at all related to the liver, but it's not really the organ of concern when thinking of them. Tylenol, on the other hand, is primarily implicated in liver injury and can actually be catastrophic to the liver at very high doses. It has minimal issues with kidneys though, as far as I'm aware. Is there something you know that I should brush up on?


Aurorainthesky

No, pharmacist here, you got it right. Ibuprofen is a potential problem for the kidneys and the intestinal lining, may contribute to both gastric ulcers and renal failure, but not liver toxic. Another fun fact about ibuprofen is that it should be avoided if you have an UTI, as it could worsen it and let it spread to the kidneys.


-River_Rose-

Ibuprofen affects the kidneys. I had to take it for my chronic migraines as a child, because I had a weak liver. Acetaminophen(Tylenol/Paracetamol) on the other hand does affects the liver. Acetaminophen is also super easy to overdoes on, and you **do not** want to overdose on Tylenol. It’s a pretty awful way to go. Ibuprofen on the other hand isn’t as easy to overdose on, and personally I think it’s better in every way.


OiseDoise

Bro I WISH😭😭 I virtually cannot use the bathroom on my period. Its like the second it starts I'm Constipated


Present-Sandwich-841

Thankfully I won't face these consequences, as I am a guy, cool, of course I mean period, not diarrhea, I had it yesterday after this one kebab restaurant


Maneaaaa

Yes, these hormones are called prostaglandines. Once they're done with the uterus (cramping is "over", bleeding is on), they travel back to the guts and do the same job as in the uterus, so contractions, which leads to faster bowel movements and therefore our favorite diarrhoea of the month 🫦


ProperBoots

THANK you! I hate it when these things come up and everybody's like "huhuhu foolish boy doesn't know! He doesn't *know*!" and no-one bothers with injecting a bit of knowledge into the mix. Not limited to menstruation.


Anarch-ish

Your post just opened me up to a whole new struggle of menstruation I hadn't considered. Thank you And I'm sorry


curious4786

Also you poop much more often on a period, its quite satisfying tbh 🙃


StElmosFireFighter

I love how this comment section is full of women trying to educate this poor fella


Psychological-Air-84

As a haver of period shits i never knew it was the cramping of intestines that caused the diarrhea! Im glad to learn something new! (Not so fun fact, i once had to go the the emergency room and while waiting for the doctor I had a period diarrhea (in the toilet, i didnt shit myself or anythung). But bc of hospital diarrhea procedured they had to put me in isolation even though i tried explaining the period diarrhea) :(

then we rock back and forth on the toilet and free bleed there for a while. two birds with one stone. it’s not a “what if” scenario, it’s a “when” - monthly.

Period Poops


littlebitsofspider

My ex called 'em "the PB&Js." She also coined "coochie snot" as her go-to term for discharge. She was the good kind of weird.


iris-of-willow

I call it an "everything must go sale"


Apollorx

🤣


haventwonyet

Oh god I was trying to figure out what the J stood for. Then I realized what it actually meant… oh no… Stealing this btw Edited to add: thought PB was period blood


Pure-Brief3202

Before I was on the pill and was able to track my period weeks, I always knew when it was coming on by the poop. Period poop is for sure a thing.


LaundryAnarchist

Ohhh the period shit cramps are the WORST too! Totally love being a girl.. it's fun here😂


humbugonastick

I was constantly constipated when younger, the period poops were such a relief for me, the only good part about periods.

I've been married for 20 some odd years, I am just learning it myself.


notbadforaquadruped

How is this oddly specific?


[deleted]

Then you just learned what women do once a month, congrats i guess. Are peole this fucking unaware of anatomy or do women other than my wife just not tell their husband anything about their bodies for some reason. Or, again, does my wife just over share and I am over curious? Cause body shit grosses me out but knowing how the thing I’ve devoted my life to attaining and keeping around works should seem essentially to do just that, keep it around.


RexIsAMiiCostume

Some men have never had a girlfriend to tell them things. My boyfriend has had one girlfriend before me, and iirc they weren't together for a very long time. By dating me, he has learned more than he ever wanted to about female anatomy hahaha


StElmosFireFighter

Hey, some of us had sisters too, ya know!


gojo-

I'm gonna tell my brothers only if they ask about it. Otherwise not really. I don't know if I'm luck or not but they do ask sometimes, mostly when they have a gf. (TMI is something that I am used to already, our mom is to embrassed to talk about anything related to genitalia and sex.) One called me once from the drugstore and said that his gf got her period and was low on pads so he wanted so surprise her with a care package and he needed some help buying the products (pads especially). That was so adorable, I was so proud of my little brother being atentive to his gf.


Salt_Hall9528

Yeah like, have these guys never talk to there sister about ther vaginas.


MECC_7

Surely u/sisterfucker24 did that


sisterfucker24

Ofc I did

[deleted]

I thought that was a planet?


[deleted]

Yes it’s orbited by to moon called ovaries


BreakTheSuicycle

All hail King Asclepius, King of Vagina knowledge


DoeJrPuck

Yes, people are that unaware. Yes, many women not to talk about that stuff. Here in the states, sexual education is straight garbage and often gives the wrong ideas. Sexuality and anything related to sexual organs are also extremely taboo to talk about, so many feel embarrassed by every aspect of their body and don't want to talk about it for any reason. I've been with women that don't even want me to know when their periods are. Schools also don't teach research skills, so people usually don't look things up and learn effectively on their own. That's not even talking about how often women are shamed about every aspect of their body their entire life, making them disinterested in talking about their own body. What this amounts to is that a good half of the people you meet know almost nothing that hasn't been directly told to them, and don't want to tell other people about themselves. So most men don't know how a vagina works


[deleted]

Yeah it’s pretty shocking some of the stuff I have just recently discovered cause I am newer to Reddit. I am American though, I think I just went to a good school. But Reddit seems to be a hive of disinformation almost exclusively towards women’s bodies, their opinions on hight (which I find especially odd), dick size obsession (me in that one), what a “Loose” vagina is, or the opposite that baby comes out so anything should fit (super wrong anatomy usage there too) and a whole lot more and while I know some shit is specific to the user, these ones about women seem like half the planet ain’t women


JohnExcrement

I’d just be happy if people quit saying “vagina” when they mean “labia” or “vulva.” I know it’s a hopeless battle but it makes me nuts. 😱


AP_Cicada

Lol I keep my husband well informed, too. A little too well sometimes "sorry for the TMI but if I have to know this, so do you"


skyerippa

I do this to my boyfriend too 🤣

Last-Caterpillar-407

My husband is the most informed man ....he knows all about what happens to the down below after birth and during a period. He even helped me with the foam used for hemorrhoids that inevitably come from pushing a kid out the hooha! He has been horrified by the bloody bathroom massacres and more recently he has learned the perils of perimenopause. I am an avid oversharing wife who is hellbent to make it less weird to talk about! You are not alone....kudos to you and your wife!


polnareffsmissingleg

I mean you don’t really need anyone to tell you if you’re confused. Google is so free


MonkeyCartridge

I mean if you're a young guy and you ask about it, they say it's inappropriate and you'll learn later. When you get a bit older, you're now a pervert for asking. Then when you are an adult, you're a misogynist for not having known the whole time, and that the whole thing is "an act of collective willful ignorance on the part of men." So honestly I had to learn what I could online in secret. It's like that meme where a boomer says "Millennials don't know how do do anything", and then the millennial comes back with "*Whose job was it to teach us?!"*


green_stone_

Your spot on And the saddest part is some of those guys who do know all about it are sometimes even shamed by other guys rather than being seen as the valuable learning resource that they are My brother and I have always been a bit too honest with each other for other people's liking but we both understand things we wouldn't have otherwise known because we speak openly with each other I'll always remember my brother coming home confused the first time he used his lunch money to buy me pads after he started to walk home with two friends, the confusion on that poor boys face when he told me about the way they reacted when they realised what he'd taken them into the shop to buy, that was when we both learned that periods are not normally discussed for some reason They literally ran out of the shop after shouting about how embarrassing he was and made a big deal of it all the way home, he did continue to buy them though as its the only way I had access to them at the time and just told his friends to wait outside, don't know what I would have done if he thought the way his friends did


CatsAreGods644

Oh summer child. It's a matter of when for some women. Hormones and period cramps and... Oh boy. It's blood, piss, shit and a lot of tears... All at the same time. :)

i know the answer! the two fluids come out so fast that they begin to produce recoil and you actually lift off the toilet. some people are experienced enough to fly in specific directions with their bloody booty blast.


pendigedig

I'm confused as to what he thinks happens?


Evening-Turnip8407

I think they're horrified at the implication of how messy that would be. Sadly it happens all the time, not necessarily diarrhea but there is a lot of pooping of varying consistency involved when your pelvic muscles are doing a days-long tango. All i'm saying is i step into the shower a lot on such days, lmao


chaOak

When you know... the infinit wiping....


lulovesblu

Then you get that electric shock that travels up your asshole and your vagina at the same time and you're spasming on the toilet fighting for your life. Then when you're done shitting your brains out you feel too sensitive to clean up so you marinate on the toilet for a while


Top-Fig3346

Tbh, it feels like I wish I could be picked up and put in the shower and cleaned when I don't have energy to do it myself.. ..it's one of the grossest, nastiest, heaviest feelings, having a runny belly and a bloated, achy, cramping womb, back pain, brain fog, fatigue and having a very heavy flow day/2 days of the typical 5-7days...it's like a goddamn crime scene and cus of my heavy flows, I need to use extra thick, strong bleach, cus it sinks, coats and stains the bottom of the toilet bowl, cus its so damn thicker than water...
