Constipation - Side effects from hrt??
« on: April 29, 2016, 07:59:08 PM »

Hi there, I've been on hrt for just 10 days and have been feeling better than I've felt for ages! However just in the last 3 days, I've had constipation and my tummy feels really full all the time. 

I'm 46 and eat very healthily.  So I am so surprised to be feeling like this.  This is all quite new to me. I hadn't realised until recently that I was going through the menopause. I had been having all the symptoms, however it was only when I started getting hot flushes that I realised.

 Does anyone know if this is a side effect of Femoston and will it balance out and be ok?

Any comments would be great.

Thanks, Phia xx

Constipation or slow transit?

Constipation - well GPs don't consider it such until a bowel hasn't been opened for 3 weeks+  ::).

Drink a little more, add more fruit - I have been to the loo 3 times already today probably due to eating lots of wine-quality grapes in the week  :o  ;D
