Why my wife has stabbing pain when pooping during a period?

Stabbing pain during bowel movements during menstruation may be due to dysmenorrhea, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine fibroids, or IBS. Hormonal changes, inflammation, and cramping can also cause constipation contributing to pain and discomfort. Period pain is a common symptom that many women experience, and it can range from mild to severe. There are many causes of it, however, when women experience sharp pain when peeing or pooping during a period, or back pain during the menstrual cycle, one chronic condition called endometriosis comes to mind. You can find out more about endometriosis in this very post: https://www.worryhead.com/why-my-wife-has-stabbing-pain-when-pooping-during-a-period/ Many women (including my wife), experience dysfunction in pelvic floor muscles, overall pain in the pelvic region, and painful sex because of endometriosis. Endometriosis is a chronic condition in which tissue that is similar to one that normally lines the inside of the uterus grows outside of the uterus. My wife has been diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis. The severity of her deep infiltrating type of endo made her symptoms extremely debilitating. Her period lasted longer and caused her to experience severe stabbing pain when passing bowel movements, constipation, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, sharp pain when peeing, and back pain during her menstrual cycle. Endometriosis affects the bowel in 3%-37% of all women and the endometrial tissue on their bowel might be causing pain during a bowel movement, rectal pain, discomfort, pressure when pooping rectal bleeding, and diarrhea or constipation. It is also associated with an increased risk of developing small bowel obstruction or bowel perforation. These symptoms vary from those of bladder endometriosis. Treatment for endometriosis in the bowel depends on the severity of the endometrial tissue but may also include medical treatment and surgery.
