Can menopause affect your bowels? 💩
As we age, our gut health naturally changes.
A decline in oestrogen can influence gut motility and the balance of our microbiome, which may slow digestion and lead to a range of bowel symptoms (see slides above).
As a pelvic health physiotherapist, I support many women experiencing these issues — and the good news is that with the right guidance, these symptoms can significantly improve.
If you’re dealing with any of the bowel symptoms mentioned, don’t hesitate to seek the support you deserve. ☺️💩🚽🧻🥝💦
