Oh yes, just before, during and just after...it's fairly common for women (even ones without bowel issues) to have bowel issues during their menstrual cycles, I think it mainly has to do with hormonal changes.

OMG!
I was hospitalized every single month! FINALLY had a hysterectomy at 37; within a month I went into remission. That was 02/11: since then I have gained 49 pounds (from 83 pounds). What a blessing.
