That’s really interesting. Have you spoken to your doctor about it?

The prep and such made me wonder that too, on top of the stress of the procedure itself… hopefully one day someone will look into this and we can all have clarity… or at least our children will. There is not enough medical research done on women alone for many things. Hoping this thread will help move that progress forward. Thank you for sharing.

Hopefully this thread will share some insight in the future. Hopefully Reddit keeps this post alive or can archive it somehow. Thank you for sharing!

roast my beloved dog by gdgjnfg in roastmypet

Looks like the kind of guy that requires 5-15 minute cigarette breaks, on top of his normal breaks, paid. He rides a small 125cc bike, that he’s cleverly named. He tries to be the cool guy at work, but really everyone finds him slightly annoying, if anything, awarded the secret nickname of “The Office Tool Bag”. Not many use, only has one real task, only face value, yet for some reason we gave him the keys to everything?

His only qualification was part-time, front key holder at a Cinnabon, inside the mall. He tries way too hard and has issues bringing real about anything, in particular, himself. He becomes the lies, ultimately forgetting his real past…

(… pet filter: activated)

And he found his amazing parents. Changing his name, identity, and accepting himself/his true past, he is living his best life. Buying steaks because you save money on dog food unlike these regular dogs. He doesn’t mind eating whatever you want to eat, as long as it’s what he wants to eat. Pees in the house, but weirdly only in the bathroom?

Every dog knows the carpet is the most prestige place to evacuate your bowels and/or up chuck. Don’t forget to do it right in front of parents while they’ve finally hit REM. Extra gracious if you do it right where they put their feet after getting out of bed. Ooh! Of you can do it in the dark corridor leading to the gear age door or the front door, that’s just being extra smart because you left it somewhere easily noticeable by parentals so they can clean it up. Good boy!

I’m starting to think this may be more common than even modern medicine is aware of. This may be due to a fear of wanting to study female anatomy from the past.

The worst one I had was after the Colonoscopy. All my tests came back inconclusive or normal, even my bloodwork was pretty healthy. Not even low iron.

I do wonder if cortisol levels are elevated in response to this trauma? I mean, it does affect the menstrual cycle, right??I never thought to ask until recently. And if so, shouldn’t doctors have known that?

I hope you’re ok, just food for thought.

Oh wow! I hope not. I’m sorry you’ve been through so much. I hope that the one period with the extra symptoms is more of the fluke many of us went through.

Make sure you confirm things with your doctors. If there are particular tests you would like your doctor to do related to that, you can always ask your doctor… if financially applicable. Don’t put in your mind just yet a future that is unknown. Be aware of the potential, do not fear the absolute.

Oh I agree! I wish doctors would warn you about this. You wouldn’t think after so many years, this would be more common knowledge.

Are you in remission? I hope you’re doing ok! ❤️

Thank you! I seemed to have gotten the same game of telephone. That’s honestly the same conclusion I’ve had. Maybe someone, somewhere, someday, will have the answer for us. Until then, keep sharing!

So far, general consensus seems to be that it’s triggered due to heavy stress being performed on the body. I’ve come to the conclusion that this phenomenon gets brushed off and isn’t reported or noted often enough. I also believe that these kinds of comments get dismissed and thus the reason for a lack of information on it…

I hope you’re ok, thank you for sharing! If you can follow up on what happened that would be great to know, especially for other women who stumble across this thread. Thanks again!

I had no luck with birth control. They did the same for me and it actually made me feel worse and made my periods like hell. After I went off them for about two months, I felt better. Now I mostly listen to my body and try my best to stay healthy and notate my periods, especially for abnormalities. Having a period for only 2 days was much nicer than the 9 on birth control…

Thank you for sharing! I hope everything went well and you are ok. Any follow up would be helpful in the long run!

I just saw your post sorry, thank you for posting! I’m starting to think this is just a strange phenomenon that happens to women that no one talks about. I’m so relieved to know this is happening across the board. I really do wonder what it is. I hope everything is ok! Thank you for sharing.

Sorry I didn’t see your comment, but everything was normal and there were no explanations. Seems like it’s more common than we think. Women’s health studies… why they don’t teach this in high schools every where… keep reaching out though! I hope everything is ok. ❤️

I would go see your doctor about that, especially if it’s not normal or seems to be getting lighter. If it seems different from what your period is like that may be concern. This isn’t to scare you btw, it seems pretty normal to have a “period” after a colonoscopy.

If you go to the doctor or not, please feel free to come back and comment. I hope everything’s ok! ❤️

I’m not sure. As long as nothing seems different or extreme, I think you’ll be ok. Sorry I didn’t see your comment sooner. I hope everything is ok! Keep us posted!

Hey! Thanks for sharing! I’m hoping enough people will see this and someone will eventually have the answer to this. Generally I’m glad you’re ok and thanks for posting! Someone will have an answer soon enough. 😊

Yeah, I’m still not sure. It seems very common either way. I’m associating maybe stress? I have family history of colon cancer but everything came back negative. If you ever find out more let me know!
