I am in menopause right now and I been having bowel movements. I talked with other women who are also in menopause and they haven’t experienced anything like that. Please, tell me is it possible for irregular bowel movements to occur during menopause?

Oh, yes. You know that our hormone level is changing during menopause and hormone level change effects gastrointestinal tract. You should ask professional about the therapy or meds that you can use, but my advice to you is pay attention on what you eat, especially if you have constipation. I also think that hormonal therapy will be helpful in dealing with irregular bowel movements during menopause.
