Cramps after my menstral?!


Question:

Cramps after my menstral?

I started my period on sunday afternoon and ended it yesterday night (july 1st). Today I had (like an hour ago) major cramps. So I went to the bathroom and I felt really lightheaded and I felt like I needed to use the bathroom (number 2) then I couldnt but my stomach was in major pain..(it felt like sharp needles poking me inside) Then a few minutes later I went to the sink dabbed water to my face...and once I left the bathroom I felt like I had to throw up. So I went back and I threw up. after that I waited for more to come up but nothing. Then more cramps came and I had diahreah. So I got water and I drank some water and Now I feel fine but I am feeling mild cramps back and forth. It is not as bad as before but WTF...This never happened before...Any ideas?

Answers:

I'm a Registered Nurse and this doesn't sound to me like it is related to your menstrual cycle. It sounds more like a stomach bug or related to something you ate. There is a slim possibility that you are sensitive to your hormone shifts (nausea and loose stools can accompany periods in sensitive individuals/usually women in early 20's or teens) -- but, usually this happens the first, couple of days of flow (and generally isn't diarrhea = just loose stools). I'm assuming you started your period LAST Sunday and ended yesterday (?). I read the above answers and wanted to add this: I have endometriosis and while severe pain and other complications effect me adversely, the diarrhea isn't a common part of the picture. Keep - up the fluid intake (ice chips, popsicles, sips of water, jello) and rest. When you feel like you can tolerate solid food, introduce bland items in small doses. Rice, dry toast and bananas are good choices for diarrhea etc. If you cannot keep fluids down/in your system and you become dehydrated (dry tongue,lips/skin/mucous membranes, dizziness, confusion, sunken eyes, headache, extreme thirst, etc.) or if your abdominal pain worsens, you spike a fever, you experience heavy, vaginal bleeding or don't improve over next, few days -- see a Dr. right away! Also, take note when you have your next, menstrual cycle: do you have the same reaction? If so, see your Dr. **I'm sorry you aren't feeling well:(
